FPIs Infuse Record Amount into Indian Stock Market, Cyclicals in Favor

Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) poured over 5,400 crore into the Indian stock market during the first half of April 2024.

Notably, FPIs sold defensive stocks, IT, and FMCG during this period. As of April 15, FPIs’ asset under custody (AUC) reached a record high of 64.76 lakh crore or $776.22 billion.

Treasuries were largely steady after briefly extending gains on a solid $69 billion sale of two-year notes — but quickly returned to levels seen ahead of the auction — with 10-year yields little changed.
