Trump Tariffs Trigger FII Outflows and Market Concerns
The US, under President Trump, has put a 25% tax on goods coming from India.
At the same time, investors from other countries (FIIs) are selling stocks in India.
The value of the rupee is dropping against the US dollar, and the dollar's value is going up.
Some experts believe that investors might be moving their money from the stock market to buy new company shares that are just being offered.
The main question is whether the stock selling will continue in the coming months.
Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Indian imports, citing high tariffs and Russia ties.
FIIs net sold over Rs 42,000 crore in July, more than double the net buying of the last 4 months.
The rupee has fallen to 4-month lows against the dollar.
The Dollar Index has spiked over 2% in the last 5 days.
FIIs might be exiting the secondary market to buy in the primary market (IPOs).
