Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) dumped equities worth Rs 5,729.70 crore on Tuesday, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) infused funds in equities worth Rs 7,000.68 crore, official depositories data revealed.

V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, explained, “The 'Sell India, Buy China' strategy pursued by the FIIs recently appears to be coming to an end as indicated by the declining FII sell numbers and the profit booking in Chinese stocks, particularly those listed in Hong Kong. FIIs are selling on valuation concerns and DIIs are buying because they have deep pockets to buy and the pockets are getting deeper. This trend is likely to continue.”
