Shopping after 90 days of ban on tariff
The 90-day temporary tariff relief of US President Donald Trump is expected to speed up bilateral trade agreement (BTA) between India and America. Due to these decisions, FII has invested Rs 25,897 crore in the last 2 business weeks.
Selling caused by high valuation in the initial months
According to market experts, FII was selling in India due to high valuation in India in the early months of 2025. They were investing their money in Chinese shares, where the valuation is low. Not only this, FII is selling massively in financial services, while this sector is performing well and its valuation is attractive.
