Foreign investors infuse Rs 1209 cr in Indian equities this week, net outflow in June stands at Rs 4192 cr: NSDL
According to the data, foreign investors made net inflows worth Rs 1,209 crore in Indian equities this week. The inflows were largely supported by significant buying activity on Wednesday and Friday.
Market experts attributed this trend to foreign participation in several block deals offered during the week, along with notable inflows on Friday due to the FTSE rebalancing.
Siddhartha Khemka, Head Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services told ANI 'FPI inflows this week has been driven by buying seen in several blocks offered during the week as well as large inflows on Friday due to FTSE rebalancing. Overall Indian economy stands strong driven by healthy economic growth multi year low inflation, rate cut by RBI as well as prospects of a above normal monsoon'.
Despite the positive movement this week, foreign portfolio investment (FPI) flows for the month of June so far continue to remain in the negative.
As of June 20, the net outflows by foreign investors stood at Rs 4,192 crore. However, this is an improvement from the previous week (ending June 13), when net outflows were higher at Rs 5,402 crore. This reduction in outflows reflects some signs of stabilization in FPI sentiment.
Khemka added that the recent inflows are being driven by India's strong economic fundamentals. These factors are collectively boosting investor confidence and encouraging selective foreign investment, even amid global uncertainties.
Looking ahead, he suggested that both global and domestic factors will influence FPI trends in the coming week. Key global triggers include geopolitical developments, fluctuations in crude oil prices amid tensions in middle east, and the approaching deadline for the imposition of US reciprocal tariffs.
On the domestic front, important drivers will be macroeconomic indicators, institutional buying support, and sector-specific triggers such as monsoon progress, consumption trends, and infrastructure push. These elements are expected to determine stock specific movements and FPI behaviour in the short term.
Earlier in May, the net foreign portfolio investment (FPI) inflows remained in positive and stood at Rs 19,860 crore, making May the best-performing month so far this year in terms of foreign investment.
The previous months' data also showed that FPIs had sold stocks worth Rs 3,973 crore in March. In January and February, they had sold equities worth Rs 78,027 crore and Rs 34,574 crore, respectively. (ANI)

US-India trade talks advance as Japan faces tariff threat
WASHINGTON, D.C.: President Donald Trump says the United States could soon reach a trade deal with India. He believes this deal would help American companies do more business in India and reduce the high tariffs they currently face. However, he cast doubt on making a similar deal with Japan. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump said India might soon lower its trade barriers. If that happens, he said, the U.S. would not impose the 26 percent tariffs that were announced in April and paused until July 9. "Right now, India doesn't accept anybody in," Trump said. "But I think they will. If they do, we'll have a deal with much lower tariffs." U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also said the U.S. and India are very close to a deal. He said the agreement would lower tariffs on American goods going to India and help India avoid hefty new tariffs that could begin next week. Indian officials stayed in Washington through June 30 to continue talks. According to Indian government sources, both countries are working hard to reach a trade agreement and solve remaining issues. A White House official said the Trump administration is focusing more on making a deal with India than with Japan, especially before the July 9 deadline. On that date, a 90-day pause on tariff increases ends, and India could face a new 27 percent tariff, up from the current 10 percent. Talks between India and the U.S. have had some disagreements, especially over tariffs on car parts, steel, and farm products. Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, speaking at an event in New York, said they are "hopefully more than halfway" through the talks. He said both sides will need to compromise. Meanwhile, Trump was more critical of Japan. He said it was unlikely the U.S. would make a deal with Japan by the deadline. Trump said Japan refuses to buy rice from the U.S., even though it sells millions of cars in the American market. He warned that if Japan doesn't agree to U.S. demands, he could impose tariffs as high as 30 percent or 35 percent on Japanese imports, higher than the 24 percent previously announced and paused until July 9. "So what I'm going to do, is I'll write them a letter saying we thank you very much, and we know you can't do the kind of things that we need, and therefore you pay a 30 percent, 35 percent or whatever the numbers that we determine," he said. So far, only Britain has made a limited trade deal with the U.S., accepting a 10 percent tariff on goods like cars in return for better access for aircraft engines and beef.

Would be my pleasure to welcome PM Modi for G7: Former Canada MP Chandra Arya calls India "indispensable partner"
Ottawa [Canada], June 7 (ANI): Former Member of Parliament of Canada, Chandra Arya, has said it would be his pleasure to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Canada for the G7 meeting from June 15 to 17, noting that India is an 'indispensable partner' and underlining the need for a deeper, structured bilateral relationship based on shared values like 'democracy', 'pluralism', and a 'rules-based international order'. In a post on X, Arya said, 'It would be my pleasure to welcome PM Narendra Modi to Canada for the G7 meeting during June 15-17. When I met PM Narendra Modi last July, I emphasised that Canada and India are united by shared values, democracy, pluralism, and a rules-based international order. India, an increasingly influential global actor with growing strategic, economic, and demographic weight, is an indispensable partner for Canada, both in the Indo-Pacific region and globally. It is in Canada's national economic, strategic, and geopolitical interest to forge a deeper, more structured relationship with India, one that spans trade, investment, policy, and civil society.' Earlier in the day, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that G7 countries will hold discussions on important issues, including security and energy, in their upcoming summit, adding that India's presence at the intergovernmental political and economic forum is essential. The effort seems a bid to thaw the frozen ties between the nations. Carney said that India, being the fifth largest economy and the most populous country in the world, must be at the seat. 'Let's put the two aspects in context- first is, we are in the role- Canada's in the role of the G7 chair and in those discussions as agreed with our G7 colleagues, include important discussions on energy, security, on digital future, critical minerals amongst others and partnerships actually in building infrastructure in the emerging and developing world,' he said. Carney said that India is central to a number of supply chains, which makes its presence pertinent at the G7 chair consultation. 'There are certain countries that should be at the table for those discussions, and in my capacity as G7 chair, I will consult with some others to make those determinations. India is the fifth largest economy in the world, effectively the most populous country in the world, central to a number of those supply chains at the heart of a number of those supply chains, so it makes sense,' he said. The announcement comes after a period of severely strained relations between the two countries, triggered by Canadian allegations that Indian agents were involved in the June 2023 assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar--a Canadian citizen and prominent pro-Khalistan activist--outside a Sikh temple in Vancouver, as per DW News. India strongly denied the claims, and both nations expelled senior diplomats in a tit-for-tat escalation, DW News reported. (ANI)
