FPIs invested, Despite Q4 IT outcomes
In April, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) purchased the most Indian stocks of any month in 2023, to the tune of Rs. 11,631 crore. FPIs would be purchasers for the second month in a row in this case. Both the Sensex and Nifty 50 have performed well in April despite the IT sector’s disappointing Q4 results, which caused a significant selloff in IT giants.

Foreign portfolio investors poured 7,936 crore into the share market in March, making them net purchasers. The FPI strategy has been skewed by the rise of the rupee, which is a significant macro issue.
For good measure, Vijaykumar said, “Rupee, which had touched a low of 82.94 to the dollar in late February this year, has now appreciated to 81.75 to the dollar.”
The analyst went on to say that the future looked promising for the rupee if the pattern of the shrinking Current Account Deficit in India continued. Foreign direct investment (FPI) is expected to increase inflows into India. Foreign portfolio investors have been buyers of financial services, automobiles, and automobile parts.
There has been an outflow of 14,579 crore from Indian shares held by foreign portfolio investors so far this year. In 2023, the largest monthly outflow of 28,852 crore was seen in January. While foreign portfolio investors sold 5,294 crore in February.
Why stock market rose previous five sessions?
The Nifty index has been on an upswing since it gave a breakthrough around 17,200 levels, and it gave another breakout on Friday by closing over 18,000. Strong quarterly results by major businesses like ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Bajaj Auto, Maruti Suzuki, and Nestle fueled the Indian stock market rise, they claimed, while a weaker US currency attracted FIIs back to Indian equities markets. They predicted that the market rally will quicken in the following sessions after the Bank Nifty index broke above its previous swing high, but they predicted that the Nifty would continue to outperform other important benchmark indexes thanks to the recent breakout.
