Future direction of the market… Friends, the current year investment figure of Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) in the country's equity market has crossed Rs four lakh crore in cash. This number of investments by DIIs is the highest ever in a single calendar year. Against this, there is a net sale of Rs.2,01,546 crore in cash by foreign investors. Foreign Institutional Investors (FPIs) have been selling heavily on the one hand while sustained buying by DIIs is supporting the country's equity market. Net inflows have been seen for the fifteenth consecutive month in October. DII equities have seen a strong take-up as a result of increased participation of retail investors in mutual funds. In the current year, Sensex has returned 13% while Nifty50 index has returned 15%.
In the coming days, along with large caps, small and mid caps can also see attractiveness. As global fund managers are increasing their allocations in China at the expense of India in view of the incentives announced by China to stabilize the economy, they are seeing inflows from the Indian market, foreign investors have withdrawn approximately eight billion dollars from the Indian market in the current month. The survey also found that their reallocation towards China is happening at the expense of Indian equities. In the coming days, Indian markets will be watching global trends, geopolitical tensions and corporate results of companies as well as elections in the coming week.
