FII and DII Activity

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued their selling streak for a second consecutive session on June 30, offloading equities worth −2556.75 crore. This follows a net outflow of −1350.1 crore on June 29. Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs), however, provided strong counter-support, recording net purchases of +6842.34 crore on June 30 and +2801.45 crore on June 29, absorbing the FII selling pressure.

Investors will be watching for broader market participation and sustained momentum in heavyweight sectors over the next 30 minutes.
