Summary

  • $5.2 billion flowed into India’s index-eligible bonds in June, marking a fresh sign that overseas investors are increasing exposure to the market.
  • Foreign demand has also supported the rupee, which is on track for a June gain against the dollar after three straight months of declines.
  • Indian equities are nearing the end of June and the quarter with a chance to finish higher, which would give the Nifty only its second monthly advance of 2026.
  • The broader market backdrop remains busy, with leadership changes at Kotak Mahindra Bank, Axis Bank, Bandhan Bank and HDFC Bank keeping the banking sector in focus.
