Why have FPIs turned negative on India?

FPIs have invested Rs 4,500 cr in Indian equity markets so far in December

After investing over Rs 36,200 crore last month, foreign investors continued their positive momentum and infused Rs 4,500 crore in the Indian equity markets so far in December, mainly due to the decline in the dollar index. However, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) turned sellers in the last four trading sessions and pulled out Rs 3,300 crore as they are adopting a cautious stance ahead of the US Federal Reserve's decision on the interest rate. Going forward, in the near term, FPIs are likely to make only modest purchases in performing sectors and may continue to sell and book profits in sectors where they are sitting on big profits, VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said. More money is likely to move into cheaper markets like China and South Korea where the valuations are compelling now, he noted. "Even though India will continue to attract foreign capital the high valuations in India will be a deterrent," Vijayakumar added. According to

ESIC approves proposal to invest surplus funds in stock market through ETFs

Government's social security body Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) on Sunday approved a proposal to invest its surplus funds in the stock market through exchange traded funds (ETFs). The decision was taken in the 189th meeting of ESIC held on Sunday at ESIC headquarters under the chairmanship of Union labour minister Bhupender Yadav, a labour ministry statement said.
