FIIs Continue Selling Spree for Second Week in June 2025

For the second consecutive week of June 2025, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in Indian equities, signalling ongoing caution among global investors. During the week ending June 13, FIIs offloaded shares worth ₹1,246 crore, according to exchange data.

Domestic Investors Drive Market Support

In contrast, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) remained strong buyers, extending their bullish stance with net purchases totalling ₹18,637 crore over the same period. DIIs provided consistent inflows across all five sessions, reinforcing their role as a stabilising force in the markets.

June 12 Saw Peak Volatility

The most significant outflow from FIIs came on June 12, with withdrawals amounting to ₹3,831 crore — the highest single-day sell-off of the week. Although modest inflows on June 9 and 10 briefly softened the blow, overall foreign sentiment remained subdued.

Meanwhile, DIIs ramped up their support on June 12 with a massive ₹9,394 crore infusion, followed by ₹3,504 crore on June 9, indicating confidence despite global headwinds.

Rising Global Tensions Trigger Risk Aversion

Investor sentiment turned increasingly risk-averse midweek amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. This shift prompted a pullback from rate-sensitive and cyclical sectors, including banking and capital markets.

Market Indices End the Week in Red

The equity benchmarks closed the week on a weaker note. The BSE Sensex declined by 573 points on Thursday, settling at 81,119. The NSE Nifty 50 also slid 170 points to close at 24,719. Over the week, both indices fell by approximately 1%, with sharper losses in sectoral indices like the Nifty Bank and Nifty Midcap, each down around 2%.

Resilience of Domestic Institutions Amid Global Caution

The contrasting trends between FIIs and DIIs underscore the resilience of domestic investors, who continue to lend strength to the markets despite uncertain global cues. As foreign flows remain volatile, domestic participation has become a key pillar supporting Indian equities.
