FPIs infuse Rs 9,000 crore in equities in November; inflow in debt at 6-year high

FPIs returned to Indian markets in November, investing Rs 9,000 crore amidst falling US treasury bond yields and resilient domestic market. Additionally, they made a net investment of Rs 14,860 crore in the debt market, the highest level in six years. The upcoming state election results will influence FPI response, and a favorable outcome could lead to a market rally. The recent inflow can be attributed to fluctuations in US Treasury yields, crude oil prices, and positive IPO listings. The US Fed's cautious approach towards interest rates and low chances of further rate hikes have also boosted market sentiments. FPIs have invested Rs 1.15 lakh crore this year, and the inclusion of Indian G-Sec in the JP Morgan Government Bond Index Emerging Markets has attracted foreign funds to the Indian bond market. Financials may be a preferred sector for FPI investment.
