Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) extended their selling spree on Friday, November 3, even as domestic markets rose for the second consecutive session amid positive cues. Infusion of domestic institutional investors (DIIs). ₹403 crore in Indian stocks today.
According to the NSE data, FIIs bought cumulatively ₹7,739.00 crore of Indian equities, and sell them ₹7,751.43 crore — resulting in an outflow of ₹12 crore on Friday. Meanwhile, infusion of DIIs ₹7,932.73 crore and unloaded ₹7,530.04 crore, registering an inflow of ₹402.69 crore.
FIIs have sold Indian equities since October on record US bond yields, the strength of the dollar index, and geopolitical risks due to the war between Israel and Hamas. These combined factors have since weighed on market sentiment.

Experts project short coverage from FIIs in the short term as they turn to buyers on positive global cues. With Brent crude crashing to the $85 per barrel mark and expectations of a pause in rate hikes by the Fed, foreign investors may start buying Indian equities soon, analysts said. This could lead to short covering which could lift markets despite the uncertainty surrounding the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
“Good earnings numbers and expectations that the interest rate will remain stable so far and will decrease in H2 of CY2024 facilitated the market’s recovery. The positive global sentiments can encourage the bulls in India to come back. Since FIIs are short the market, short covering is possible,” said Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
