Analysts expect foreign portfolio investors to resume buying in Indian stocks.
Dr VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said, “There are some important developments that might influence FPI inflows into India. The better-than-expected decline in inflation in the US has given the market confidence to assume that the Fed is done with rate hike. Consequently, the US bond yields have declined sharply with the 10-year benchmark bond yield correcting from 5 per cent in mid-October to 4.40 per cent now. This has forced the FIIs to slow down their selling. Importantly, they were buyers on four days this month with a big buying of ₹2,625 crore on Friday.”
He further added, “FPIs are likely to buy banking which they have been selling during the last three months. A large-cap led rally is likely in the market, going forward.”
