Will FII investment flow Favour US or China?

India's stock market has faced considerable selling pressure from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) recently, with outflows of 94,000 crore in October 2024 and 29,000 crore in November 2024. This has led to the lowest FII ownership in Indian equities in over a decade. However, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) have counterbalanced this trend, buying stocks worth 31,636 crore during the same period. This shift underscores the increasing influence of domestic investors, who are providing much-needed stability amid global headwinds.
