Institutional Activity
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) turned net buyers on June 15 after remaining net sellers for 13 consecutive trading sessions, purchasing equities worth ₹200 crore, according to The Times of India. The shift in FII activity indicates a modest improvement in overseas investor sentiment. Meanwhile, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) continued to provide strong support to the market, extending their buying streak with net equity purchases worth ₹3,189 crore, helping sustain positive market momentum.
Analyst Outlook
"The near-term market structure remains constructive, supported by positive global cues, improving institutional participation, and sustained strength in banking and large-cap stocks. While intermittent profit booking near higher levels may continue, the broader undertone remains favorable as long as key support zones are defended. A decisive move above immediate resistance levels could reinforce bullish sentiment and provide momentum for a further extension of the ongoing recovery trend," said Hitesh Tailor, Research Analyst, Choice Equity Broking Private Limited.
Global markets remain largely supportive despite ongoing geopolitical developments, as investors continue to focus on resilient economic data and stable risk sentiment. However, fluctuations in crude oil prices and geopolitical headlines may keep market participants watchful, leading to selective volatility during the session, the report noted.
