Global Funds Buy $900 Million Indian Shares as Oil Shock Eases

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 23

Summary

  • $900 million of net foreign buying flowed into Indian equities last week, ending an eight-week selling streak and marking global funds' first weekly purchases in two months.
  • Lower oil prices and easing Middle East tensions revived appetite for the market, reducing one of the biggest near-term risks for import-dependent India.
  • Overseas investors still remain heavy sellers in 2026, with cumulative outflows exceeding $29 billion despite last week's rebound.
  • That leaves foreign flows on track to surpass the annual record for outflows even after the latest turn in sentiment.
