Foreign investors pull a record $12 billion from Indian stocks, sparked by Iran war
$XAUT The Indian equity market is facing an unprecedented exodus as foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have reportedly withdrawn over $12 billion this March. This massive sell-off is primarily fueled by escalating geopolitical tensions in West Asia, with the Iran-Israel conflict sending crude oil prices soaring past $100 per barrel. BTC
$STO As risk-off sentiment takes hold globally, the record outflow has significantly pressured the Indian rupee and benchmark indices like Sensex and Nifty. Investors are increasingly cautious, pivoting toward safe-haven assets as the "energy shock" threatens corporate margins and fuels domestic inflation concerns across the subcontinent.
