Why did this happen?
Stock market experts said that the US is the main reason for foreign investors withdrawing money from India.
Reason Foreign Investors withdrawing Money from India
In the First place, experts revealed that the US central bank, the Federal Reserve, had given a relief package to bail out the economy from the corona. Under this package, the amount was directly received by the general public. Many more steps were taken for the economy at that time.
Secondly, those relief steps are set to be withdrawn. One of these is the decision on the interest rate. next month the US the central bank could raise federal reserve interest rates. In such a situation, the Indian markets will not be very beneficial for investing money.
The U.S. dollar will rise. This will increase the weakness in the rupee. That's why investors are returning to the U.S. markets. benchmark US 10-year treasury yields rose sharply, reducing the yield gap between the US and India.
Now, the situation is like FIIs are relocating their assets to the United States because of the dollar's strength over other currencies. This permits homegrown financial investors to buy Indian equities at a flexible discount, bringing about the inconsistency between DII inflows and FII outflows.
All through this fiscal year, the Federal Reserve has been out of a way for the clearing post-pandemic time, remembering a decrease for bond buys.
At last, US 10-year depository yields expanded all the more quickly, shutting the yield divergence between the US and India. This caused FIIs to pull out certain funds, while domestic investors maintained their positions very well, another analyst said.
