Why Are FIIs Extending Their Selling Streak in Indian Equities?
About the Situation:
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have been on a continuous selling spree in Indian equity markets. According to the latest data, they offloaded nearly ₹5,700 crore worth of equities on Friday, extending their selling streak to the fifth consecutive trading session. Cumulatively, FIIs have sold equities worth ₹30,142 crore so far this month, which has significantly dampened investor sentiment. The overall market lost more than ₹16 lakh crore in value this week, mainly due to concerns over global tariffs and the recent hike in US H-1B visa fees, both of which have created uncertainties for investors.

Market Outlook Going Forward
Looking ahead, markets are likely to remain volatile as global and domestic uncertainties play out. Investors should closely watch FII activity, global interest rate trends, and government policy announcements. The upcoming quarterly earnings season will also play a critical role in deciding market direction. If corporate results manage to surprise positively, some of the bearish sentiment may ease.
For now, caution is the keyword. Retail investors should avoid panic selling but at the same time avoid aggressive buying until clarity emerges on both global tariff issues and US immigration policies.
Those trading derivatives or short-term positions need to keep a strict stop-loss and avoid over-leveraging, as volatility is expected to remain elevated in the near term.
