1. Reversal After a Three-Month Buying Streak

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have turned net sellers in Indian equities this July, ending a steady inflow trend seen since April.

- Between July 1 and July 18, FPIs offloaded Rs 10,775 crore from the secondary market

- Most of the selling—Rs 10,219 crore—occurred in just five sessions between July 14 and 18

- This marks a sharp pivot from June’s Rs 14,590 crore inflow

2. Mixed Signals: Primary Market Still Attractive

Despite the exit from secondary markets, FPIs remain active in IPOs and QIPs.

- Rs 5,251 crore invested in the primary market during the same period

- Analysts suggest FPIs are chasing fairer valuations in new issuances

3. What’s Driving the Pullback?

Multiple factors are contributing to the cautious sentiment:

- Elevated stock valuations and underperformance relative to other emerging markets

- Uncertainty around US-India trade negotiations and tariff deadlines

- Mixed corporate earnings, especially in financial and IT sectors

- Global cues and stronger US assets prompting profit booking

4. Domestic Investors Hold the Fort

While FPIs retreat, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) continue to support the market.

- DIIs have been net buyers for 24 consecutive months

- In July alone, DIIs pumped in Rs 21,893 crore—more than double the FPI outflows
