Selling pressure persists; FIIs offload Rs 25,564 crore worth equities in August so far

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have continued their selling trend in August, offloading equities worth ₹25,564 crore, bringing the year’s total to ₹1,57,440 crore. High valuations in India compared to other emerging markets and concerns over IT sector growth are key drivers. However, a potential rate cut by the Federal Reserve may ease the selling pressure.
