Talking about the figures, in the last 16 days, foreign investors have withdrawn more than Rs 1 lakh crore. Besides, the price of crude oil has also reached around $112 per barrel. Let us know why foreign investors are staying away from the market?
Foreign investors withdrew Rs 1000 crore every hour
Recently, selling by foreign investors (FIIs) in the domestic stock market has been rapid. Between February 26 and March 20, FIIs have withdrawn a total of Rs 1,00,040 crore. That means, on an average, about Rs 1,000 crore was withdrawn every hour in 16 trading days.

Relief to the market from DII purchases
Where continuous selling by foreign investors (FIIs) is putting pressure on the market. At the same time, some balance has been maintained due to purchases by domestic institutional investors (DII).

The uncertainty created by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East is being said to be the main reason for foreign investors to stay away from the domestic market.
