Foreign investors continue buying spree; pour ₹12,921 cr in first week of Aug · livemint.com

People from other countries can buy shares of companies in India.

These people are called foreign investors.

In the first week of August, they bought Indian shares worth ₹12,921 crore.

That is a very large amount of money.

It is good news for India's stock market.

For four months before August, these investors were mostly selling their shares.

In July, they bought shares worth ₹20,200 crore.

Experts say investors feel happier because oil prices are lower and the rupee is stable.

Investors also think the US will lower interest rates, which helps money move around the world.

Even with all this buying, foreign investors have sold more shares than they bought this year overall.

Deputy Vice President-Research, Bajaj Broking

“"The sustained buying by both FIIs and DIIs was largely driven by the de‑escalation of geopolitical tensions, which helped strengthen investor confidence and supported positive market sentiment."”

“Importantly, a large share of the recent buying has come through the secondary market, signalling stronger interest in listed Indian companies rather than merely IPO allocations.”
