FIIs Investment in February: The whole world is keeping an eye on the increasing tension between Iran and Israel. It is expected to have an impact on the price of crude oil, the prices of gold and silver, the stock market and the actions of investors.
At the same time, questions are also being raised on the return of foreign investors to the Indian domestic market. However, in the month of February, foreign institutional investors have expressed confidence in the Indian market. Talking about the figures, during this period foreign investors have bought shares worth about Rs 22,615 crore. Let us know about this…
Foreign investors became buyers in February
According to the data, in the month of February, foreign institutional investors have invested about Rs 19,782 crore in the secondary market. At the same time, approximately Rs 2,832 crore has been injected into the primary market. However, on Friday, foreign investors had withdrawn Rs 7,536.36 crore from the market in a single day. Still his interest remains on the Indian domestic market.
Foreign investors are making purchases more cautiously than before and are placing their bets on some selected sectors. For example, due to the recent weakness and anthropic shock in the IT sector, foreign portfolio investors sold IT shares.
At the same time, they became buyers in the financial services and capital goods sectors. This shows that foreign investors prefer to place their bets on selected sectors.
What will be the attitude of foreign investors?
The increasing tension between Iran and Israel may weaken the risk appetite in global markets. In such an environment, foreign investors can try to understand the situation instead of taking hasty decisions. Dr. V.K., Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments. Vijayakumar says that this conflict in the Middle East is currently creating a ‘risk-off’ environment in the markets.
It is not yet clear how deep its impact will be on crude oil and currency markets. Therefore, foreign institutional investors can keep an eye on the situation for some time before investing.
FII’s stance remains cautious in 2025
In the year 2025, the movement of foreign institutional investors was quite volatile. He did make purchases in a few months, but overall his attitude remained negative. Delay in India-US trade agreement and high premium valuations of Indian stocks impacted investor sentiment.
During the year 2025, FIIs had withdrawn a total of Rs 1,66,286 crore from the Indian market. Which clearly shows that foreign investors were staying away from the Indian market.
