Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) turned net buyers in the first week of February, investing Rs 8,129 crore in Indian equities through Feb. 6, depository data showed on Feb. 8. The inflows follow heavy withdrawals earlier in the year—a net Rs 1.66 lakh crore in 2025—and analysts attribute the reversal to easing global risks, an India‑US trade breakthrough, stabilising US yields, and rupee appreciation, which could attract further flows.
Key Points

- 2Supported by easing global uncertainties, India-US trade breakthrough, stabilising US yields and rupee appreciation.
