FIIs remained net sellers of Indian equities for the 12th consecutive day offloading shares worth Rs 1,712.3 crore.
"Reflecting the mixed global sentiments, the Indian market is mired to a range bound trend with the Nifty index not able to breach above the key level of 19,500. Cues from the Fed Chair's speech have reduced the likelihood of a rate hike in the near term, leading to an ease in US treasury yields and calming the market,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
“FIIs selling has moderated but inflows continue to be muted on concerns of an elevated interest rate and a global slowdown. Mid- and small caps are back in favour after the recent fall, led by retail activities & good corporate results," he added.
