FPIs pull nearly ₹13,000cr from Indian markets in just 1 week
Foreign investors yanked out ₹12,941 crore from India's stock and debt markets last week, according to NSDL.
The big reasons? A weaker rupee, high US interest rates, and investors shuffling their portfolios as the year wraps up.
Why does this matter?
With foreign ownership now at a multi-year low, some analysts warn that market swings could become sharper.
The rupee sliding to about ₹90.37 per dollar has made Indian investments less appealing for global players—so if you're tracking stocks or thinking about investing, it's worth keeping an eye on these moves.
What's behind the exits?
It's a mix of things: the rupee lost 5-6% in value this year, US rates are still high (making American assets more attractive), and there's uncertainty over an India-US trade deal.
All this has pushed foreign investors to rethink their bets on India for now.
