After a world-beating rally, Indian markets are losing their allure to emerging market (EM) peers. The foreign portfolio investors have turned cautious on India. according to some experts, this year’s rally is primarily driven by domestic money and those flows could dry up. Covid-19 impacted the unorganised or the informal economy but the listed space has largely benefited. also in 2020-21, despite the economy shrinking 7.5 percent, the earnings growth for Nifty companies was probably the best in a decade. The recovery from lockdowns has been reasonably good without any big government stimulus. The domestic supplies of vaccines helped and the execution program was stellar. Read more

The key benchmark indices broke respective psychological levels in trade today(28th Oct.2021) amid heavy broad-based sell-off. While the Sensex closed 1,158 points lower at 59,985, the Nifty lost 354 points to end the day at 17,857 levels. At the end of the day, the Nifty has slipped below its 20-DMA, which has opened the door for further downside, technical analysts said. "Relentless selling by FIIs is a key reason for this correction in the market. The next support level for the Nifty is around 17,650 level. Below this, 17,450-17,250 will be the next support zone. On the upside, 18,150-18,300 has become an immediate supply zone," said Santosh Meena, head of research at Swastika Investment. Read more

According to experts, there are two important trends in the market now. One, there is selling pressure in the broader market. While Nifty is up 1.52 % for the last one month, Nifty Small-cap is down 1.11%. Nifty Mid-cap is down 8% from its peak. Two, FIIs are continuously selling in the market; they have sold Rs 10300 cr worth equity in the last 5 days in the cash market. If this FII selling sustains that would be a major drag on the market. The 8% correction in the mid-cap space is not getting reflected in the large-cap indices. The run-up in many micro-caps and penny stocks has been totally irrational. There are clear signs of the broader market tide receding.

Foreign investor flows have taken a backseat over the past couple of years with retail investors now being in the driver’s seat, suggests a recent report from foreign brokerage firm UBS. “Overall, when we combine household equity savings through mutual funds and direct share purchase, we see that households are a material force to be reckoned with: overall 25 percent higher than foreign portfolio investment (FPI) net inflows over the last two years,” a January 20 UBS note said. the key trigger for the increased retail participation in equities has been the lockdown triggered by Covid-19 that saw investors channelizing their savings to capital markets in search of a better return on their investments and the need to increase their disposable income. The share of client participation in capital markets at the NSE for individuals rose to 46 percent in fiscal 2020-21 (FY21) on a YTD basis, as compared to 39 percent in FY20, UBS said.
