Indian stock markets plunge amid record foreign investor selling and multi-week losing streak
Sensex and Nifty declined sharply, extending a multi-week losing streak potentially longest in 25 years. Massive foreign institutional investor (FII) selling exceeded $1 billion on single days, with $27.8 billion in outflows year-to-date. High US Treasury yields and geopolitical oil concerns amplified selling pressure.
TLDR
India is a key emerging market bellwether. Record-scale FII outflows signal global risk-off sentiment as higher US yields redirect capital flows. The sustained selling streak and scale carry implications for rupee stability, policy responses, and investor confidence in Indian equities amid competing global investment opportunities.
