Imagine the stock market as a tug-of-war. On Monday, FIIs reduced their net selling to ₹1,148.64 crore, while DIIs invested ₹3,201.19 crore. Yet, the Nifty 50 fell 1.11% and the Sensex dropped 1.17%. The bigger story? FIIs have sold nearly ₹49,918 crore worth of Indian equities in October, while domestic institutions have helped absorb some of that selling pressure.
