DIIs Provide Support Amidst FII Selling
Institutional activity data revealed a continuation of recent trends. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers, offloading equities worth −1082.18 crore rupees. This marks the third consecutive session of FII outflows. Conversely, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) provided strong buying support, injecting +5341.29 crore rupees into the market. The consistent DII buying has been instrumental in cushioning the impact of FII selling over the past few sessions.
Looking ahead, market participants will monitor global cues and domestic liquidity trends. The resilience shown by midcap stocks and sustained DII support will be key factors to watch as the market approaches tomorrow’s open.
