FII & DII Activity
| Category | Net Buy/Sell (₹ Cr) | Trend |
|---|---|---|
| FII (Foreign) | Outflow streak | Continued selling pressure |
| DII (Domestic) | Support buying | Offsetting some losses |
FII flows remain negative as foreign investors continue their exit amid geopolitical tensions and rising crude oil prices. Domestic institutional investors are providing partial support, but the imbalance signals fragile market sentiment as international uncertainties persist.
Sector Performance
FMCG led gains with a 1% rally, providing defensive support as investors rotated toward stable, dividend-paying stocks. Media suffered the heaviest losses, declining 2.35%, while broader markets—Nifty Midcap and Nifty Smallcap indices—each fell approximately 1.5%, reflecting risk-off positioning among retail and mid-cap investor bases.
IT and banking sectors showed mixed signals: Banking heavyweights like Axis and ICICI provided uplift, yet IT names like Infosys and Wipro faced selling pressure. The divergence underscores sector rotation toward safety and away from cyclical/growth trades.
Key Market Movers
1. US-Iran Tensions Escalate Crude & Rupee Pressure Fresh escalations in US-Iran hostilities have reignited oil price concerns, pushing Brent crude upward and weighing on the Indian rupee. Higher crude prices import inflation, eroding corporate margins and straining government finances—a key reason for sustained FII selling and market caution.
2. RBI Holds Rates at 5.25%; Cuts Growth, Raises Inflation Last week, India's central bank kept the repo rate steady at 5.25% but raised its CPI inflation projection for FY27 to 5.1% (from 4.6%) and slashed growth forecast to 6.6% (from 6.9%), signaling rising macro headwinds and reduced room for further easing.
3. May Inflation Expected to Breach 4.1% Target Retail inflation in May is projected at 4.1%, marking the first breach of RBI's 4% mid-point target, driven by elevated food and fuel costs tied to geopolitical tensions. This weakens the case for rate cuts and supports defensive positioning.
4. Fitch Cuts FY27 Growth to 6.4%; Warns of War Impact Rating agency Fitch downgraded India's FY27 GDP growth projection to 6.4% from prior estimates, warning that Q2–Q3 slowdown looms as US-Iran tensions erode real incomes and suppress consumer demand.
Macro & Global Cues
- Rupee: USD/INR under pressure as oil prices soar; rupee weakness is a persistent drag on foreign investor confidence and corporate earnings from abroad
- Crude Oil: Brent crude elevated due to fresh US-Iran war fears; rising prices threaten India's current-account deficit and inflation trajectory
- US Markets: Overnight weakness in global equities due to geopolitical risk aversion; US tech and growth stocks seeing heavy selling
- Bond Yields: India 10Y government bond yields higher as inflation concerns resurface; RBI's hawkish pause limits yield compression
Global risk-off sentiment dominates. Rising crude oil prices, persistent geopolitical tensions, and reduced rate-cut expectations globally are all converging to dent Indian market sentiment despite underlying growth fundamentals at 7.7% for FY26.
What to Watch Tomorrow
- US Inflation Data (CPI): Tonight's US consumer inflation release could trigger fresh volatility in crude oil and rupee; a higher print would reduce global rate-cut odds and weigh on emerging market flows
- Oil Market Developments: Any further escalation in Middle East tensions or crude price spike will amplify selling pressure on Indian equities
- Corporate Earnings: Mid-cap and small-cap earnings season underway; weak results amid cost pressures could extend current weakness
- RBI Forex Intervention: Watch for further RBI support measures for the rupee; recent announcements to boost dollar inflows may cushion downside but remain insufficient against larger macro headwinds
