FII selling, global uncertainty hitting Indian stock market

Commenting on the declining trend in the market, Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, an online trading and wealth tech firm, said FII selling, geopolitical tensions, profit booking are adversely affecting the market.

“Indian equity markets begin the week on a cautious footing as risk appetite remains restrained amid lingering global uncertainty, continued FII outflows, and geopolitical overhangs. Recent profit-booking across sectors has added to near-term pressure, keeping sentiment defensive,” Ponmudi R said.

“The market has turned distinctly weak, weighed down by a series of India-specific and global geopolitical events. Geopolitical developments in Venezuela, the crisis in Iran and Trump’s threats regarding Greenland are also being viewed by the markets with concern,” VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, said.
