The investors, from next week, starting Monday, will keenly be watching global developments in the absence of major domestic events, said market experts adding a possibility of volatility in the Indian stock markets.
Foreign investors continue to pull money out of Indian stock markets, with net selling by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) reaching Rs 24,753 crore in the first week of March, according to data from the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL).
Indian stock markets witnessed a continued selling spree on Tuesday as both benchmark indices opened in the red, reacting to global concerns over slowing economic growth in the US and the impact of new tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump.
Indian stock markets started the fresh week on Monday with moderate gains, as both indices opened in the green; however, a sustained rally was not visible.
In absence of major domestic events next week starting from Monday, the investors in the Indian stock markets will watch trends of foreign sellings, developments around the US tariffs, geopolitical risks, and upcoming Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) releases.
The Indian stock market has witnessed a massive sell-off since the beginning of 2025, leading to a loss of over Rs 50 lakh crore in market capitalization within just two months
The sell-off in Indian stocks is primarily technical in nature and reflects multiple compressions rather than any drastic macro issue, according to a recent report of 'Greed & Fear' by Jefferies.
