Published August 12, 2024

In a recent turn of financial events, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have shifted their stance on Indian equities, pulling out a substantial Rs 13,400 crore in August. This move signifies a change in the mood of international investors, who are often seen as a barometer for emerging markets like India.

Understanding the FPI Exodus

Foreign Portfolio Investors play a pivotal role in the Indian stock markets, influencing the flow and ebb of funds. Their investment decisions are keenly observed by market participants, as they can strongly impact market indices and individual stocks alike. One such stock that often comes under the scrutiny of these international investment flows is Alphabet Inc. GOOG, the parent company of Google. Although headquartered in the US, fluctuations in global market sentiment can have an influence on its stock performance.
