- 11 years , zero net FII flow : How a $64 billion outflow erased 9 years of equity buying
- Bajaj Broking Weekly FII and DII Commentary for 10th October 2026
The Nifty snapped an eight-week decline to close marginally higher, but still formed a fresh 52-week low, as the RBI raised rates by 25 basis points and shifted to “calibrated tightening”. Brent crude above $100, higher US bond yields and a weaker rupee kept sentiment under pressure, with FIIs net sellers for an eighth straight week (Rs. 302.94bn) while DIIs bought Rs. 303.13bn to absorb the selling. The index closed the week at 22,520.45, up 0.4%, though it is down 0.44% month-to-date. The analysis expects volatility to persist amid FII selling and global headwinds, with strong domestic buying limiting downside. Investors will watch US and Indian inflation data, US bond yields, Brent prices and US-Iran tensions next week.
- FPIs hit the sell button again : Rs 3 . 12 lakh crore exits Indian equities in 2026
Foreign portfolio investors have pulled Rs 52,100 crore from Indian equities so far in October, taking 2026 withdrawals to Rs 3.12 lakh crore, far above the Rs 1.66 lakh crore withdrawn in all of 2025. The October selling follows Rs 35,861 crore of outflows in September and is attributed to high crude prices, elevated US bond yields, a stronger dollar and the AI-led rally in North Asian markets. FPIs made a marginal net purchase on October 16, which analyst V K Vijayakumar says may be tactical, helped by the US 10-year yield easing to 5.08% and a firmer rupee. Selling concentrated in financial services and oil-related stocks, while consumer services attracted inflows. In the debt market, FPIs withdrew Rs 1,620 crore via the FAR route and Rs 772 crore via the VRR route in September, while the general route saw Rs 3,387 crore of investment.
- FPIs Pull Out ₹52,100 Crore From Equities in October So Far Amid Global Headwinds
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have withdrawn ₹52,100 crore from Indian equities in October so far, following a net withdrawal of ₹35,861 crore in September, as high crude prices, higher US bond yields and a stronger dollar weighed on sentiment. Cumulative FPI outflows in 2026 have reached ₹3.12 lakh crore, far above the ₹1.66 lakh crore withdrawn in all of 2025. Dheeraj Gaur of Choice Wealth said sticky US inflation has fuelled expectations of a Fed rate hike, while the AI-led rally in North Asia is drawing funds away. FPIs turned marginal buyers on October 16, a move the article says is likely tactical rather than a structural shift.
- FPIs Are Selling but Indian Equities Not Under Foreign-Investor Stress
FPIs net sold about Rs 8,990 crore of Indian equities last week, though Friday’s buying of Rs 1,166 crore snapped a 15-session selling streak that began on September 24. October’s outflow has reached about Rs 52,100 crore, above September’s Rs 35,861 crore, and calendar-2026 outflows now exceed Rs 3 lakh crore, according to Dheeraj Gaur of Choice Wealth. Yet the Nifty rose 2.8% to 23,146 and the Sensex 3.1% over the week, with Nifty IT jumping 11.7%, as domestic institutions bought heavily to absorb foreign selling. Analysts cited elevated crude prices, rising inflation and mixed global cues as key concerns, while the IMF’s upgrade of India’s FY27 and FY28 GDP forecasts supported confidence.
- Foreign Investors (FPIs) Pull Out ₹52,100 Crore from Equities So Far in October Amid Global Headwinds
FPIs have withdrawn ₹52,100 crore from Indian equities so far in October, following a net outflow of ₹35,861 crore in September, as high crude prices, higher US bond yields and a stronger dollar weighed on sentiment. They had invested ₹20,200 crore in July and ₹29,631 crore in August, but cumulative 2026 outflows have reached ₹3.12 lakh crore, well above the ₹1.66 lakh crore withdrawn in all of 2025, according to CDSL data. Dheeraj Gaur of Choice Wealth attributed the selling to sticky US inflation fuelling expectations of a Fed rate hike and to an AI-led rally in North Asia drawing funds away. FPIs turned marginal buyers on October 16, which V K Vijayakumar of Geojit called a tactical move linked to lower US 10-year yields and a firmer rupee. FPIs kept selling financial services and oil-related stocks but bought consumer services, while remaining net sellers in debt in September.

- Bitcoin ETFs just saw their biggest day in a month thanks entirely to BlackRock
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $526.6 million on Monday, the largest daily net inflow in nearly a month, driven entirely by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in $665.2 million, its biggest daily inflow since Oct. 7 last year, according to SoSoValue data. Fidelity's FBTC lost $83.6 million and Grayscale's GBTC shed $54.9 million, while the remaining funds recorded no net flows. The inflow more than erased last week's $228.5 million of withdrawals, but funds remain about $90.5 million in net outflows for October, according to CoinDesk calculations. Ether funds moved the opposite way, losing $103.3 million in their fourth consecutive session of outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $95.4 million of that.
- A Big4 bank cut deposit rates in the morning, then raised them again in the afternoon
VietinBank cut its deposit rates for terms of 6 months and longer on the morning of Oct. 20, then restored them to pre-adjustment levels by the afternoon. Its afternoon rate board showed 3.5% per year for 6 to under 12 months, 5.9% for 12 to under 24 months and 6% for 24 months and longer, versus 3%, 5.4% and 5.5% in the morning. Rates for terms under 6 months stayed unchanged, including 2.1% for 1 to under 3 months and 2.4% for 3 to under 6 months. The move came as banks followed the State Bank of Vietnam's guidance to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points for terms of 6 months and longer, and Vietcombank and Agribank were among those reducing rates.
- IVV vs. SPY: Which S&P 500 ETF Is the Better Buy for Long-Term Investors?
The article compares two ETFs that track the S&P 500, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which have nearly identical holdings. The main difference is the expense ratio: IVV charges 0.03% a year, one-third of SPY's 0.09%, and its distribution yield is about 1.1% versus 1% for SPY. SPY's high liquidity remains valuable for active traders. The article concludes that IVV is the better choice for long-term investors, since lower costs can compound over time.
- Warren Buffett Is Issuing a Stark Warning About the Stock Market. Here's What History Says Comes Next.
Warren Buffett has warned that investors are taking on too much risk, likening the market to 'a church with a casino attached' and saying people have never been in a more gambling mood. The article points to the S&P 500 Shiller CAPE Ratio, which has stayed above 40 since May of this year; historically, the only other time it held above that level for months was during the dot-com bubble, when it peaked around 44 before the bear market began in March 2000. The article notes that 40 is not an automatic trigger for a downturn, and no metric can predict timing. It suggests investors focus on quality stocks with solid fundamentals and be ready to hold them for at least a few years.
- Early Uber Investor Jason Calacanis Predicts Waymo Could Buy Lucid Or Rivian — Calls Its Chinese-Car Optics ‘Really Bad’
Early Uber investor Jason Calacanis predicts Waymo will buy Lucid Group (LCID) or Rivian Automotive (RIVN), arguing that its reliance on Chinese-made Zeekr vehicles creates cost and reputational problems. He says the arrangement is technically not illegal today, but Waymo would need to pay a tariff of over 100%, and it has drawn national-security concerns on Capitol Hill. According to Semafor, Waymo aims to grow its fleet from about 4,000 vehicles to 8,000 by the end of 2026 and 20,000 by the end of 2027, after closing a $5 billion term loan and a $16 billion equity raise this year. Uber has committed to buying at least 35,000 Lucid vehicles, while its Rivian deal starts with 10,000 autonomous R2 SUVs, with rides expected to begin in 2028. Calacanis, who recently bought small stakes in Lucid, Rivian, WeRide (WRD) and Pony.ai (PONY), expects consolidation in the autonomous-driving sector within 24 months.
