Indian stock markets are witnessing a significant shift in investment patterns. Traditionally, foreign investors, often referred to as market movers, have had a dominant influence in the market.
The selling pressure continues in the Indian stock markets as the Nifty fell more than 4 per cent in the last 5 sessions, while the Sensex declined by 4.3 per cent in the last 5 trading sessions.
Indian stock indices Nifty and Sensex opened flat on Thursday amid selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and buying support from Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs), keeping the indices in a balanced mode.
As India celebrates its 78th Independence Day, the country's stock markets stand as a testament to remarkable growth and resilience. The major benchmark index of the country Nifty 50 has given a return of more than 2000 per cent since its beginning in 1996.
Indian markets experienced one of the worst falls on Monday with both the indices Nifty, and Sensex registered high losses during the opening trade. Indian stock markets followed the global bloodbath.
