However, the one that stands out the most is the strategy of Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs).For a little over a week now, FIIs have remained sustained buyers in the Indian market despite the heightened India-Pakistan tensions. “The cumulative buy figure through the exchanges during this eight-day period is Rs 32,465 crores,” said Dr VK Vijayakumar of Geojit Financial Services.He attributes these strong FII inflows in India to two factors: “One, the sustained rise is dollar which triggered the momentum trade towards US equities has reversed with the dollar index falling from a peak of 111 in mid-January this year to around 99 now. Two, the steep decline in US growth expected this year will impact corporate earnings in US while the Indian economy will continue to remain resilient with growth of above 6 per cent accompanied by recovery in corporate earnings,” he said.Tagsnifty fiftySensexStock marketEnd of Article
