2026-10-11 · 2 sources · Economic Times Markets

In short

Foreign investors sold Indian shares worth Rs 45,125 crore in the first six sessions of October. That was close to the selling seen in September.

This matters because heavy foreign selling can pressure Indian markets and stocks. The reports say US bond yields, crude oil, inflation data and geopolitics may affect whether the selling continues, but the next move is not known.

What the reporting says

Foreign investors sold Indian equities worth Rs 45,125 crore in October's first six sessions, according to publisher summaries. The reporting says the selling almost matched September's outflows and points to elevated US bond yields and crude oil prices as market pressure, while inflation data and geopolitical developments may influence the trend. What happens next remains unclear.
