Foreign Investors Pull Out Rs 3,200 Crore From Stocks In November On Trump Jitters
New Delhi: Continuing their selling spree, foreign investors have pulled out close to Rs 3,200 crore from the Indian stock markets so far this month on concerns that US President-elect Donald Trump's impending reforms may spark outflows from emerging markets.
The net outflow by foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) comes following a withdrawal of Rs 4,306 crore from the equity markets in October. Prior to that, the equity markets had witnessed an inflow of over Rs 10,000 crore.
Investors appeared to be cautious on fears that Mr Trump's planned huge spending policies would be inflationary, which may lead to US interest rate hike and dent the appeal of emerging markets.
"As euphoria surrounding the US election settled, prospects of outflows from emerging markets to the US, anticipating reform measures from Trump, and rise in US treasury yields have resulted in sharp sell-off in Asian markets. The anticipated rise in spending in the US has also upped the ante for FOMC rate hike in December," said Anand James, chief market strategist at Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services.
According to the depositors' data, net withdrawal by FPIs from equities stood at Rs 3,175 crore during November 1-11 while they pumped in a net sum of Rs 2,446 crore in the debt market during the period under review, translating into a total outflow of Rs 729 crore.
So far this year, FPIs have invested a net sum of Rs 43,812 crore in stocks while they have pulled out Rs 1,112 crore from the debt market, resulting in a net inflow of Rs 42,700. crore.
