Foreign funds continue to mop up Indian equities. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought shares worth a net Rs 207.80 crore on Tuesday, 4 August 2009. The inflow, however, was much lower than Monday's (3 August 2009)'s Rs 475.90 crore.
The net inflow of Rs 207.80 crore on 4 August 2009 was a result of gross purchases Rs 2781.40 crore and gross sales Rs 2573.70 crore. The BSE 30-share Sensex was down 93.25 points or 0.59% to 15,830.98 that day.
Equities have risen sharply this year on the back of heavy buying by foreign funds. FII inflow reached Rs 36841.10 crore in 2009 so far.
