Foreign investors pulled over $20 billion from Indian stocks in the first four months of 2026, topping all of last year's record outflow. An Iran war-driven oil price spike raised costs for India, one of the world's largest crude importers, souring investor sentiment. Sustained high oil prices could extend the selloff
FIIs sold Rs 17,140 crore of Indian equities last week, taking April's total outflow to Rs 43,967 crore and the 2026 running total to Rs 1.75 lakh crore. Geopolitical concerns and weak sectoral leadership are driving the exits, pressuring domestic indexes. The US FOMC and Bank of Japan rate decisions are the next key
