EPFR Global sees stronger foreign interest in Indian equities
In short
EPFR Global’s Cameron Brandt said India may get more foreign investor attention as money flows into emerging markets improve. He said a big US IPO or a possible rate hike could cause short-term swings.
The view matters for Indian stocks because stronger foreign flows can support demand, even if some volatility appears.
