FIIs’ Relentless Buying Spree Faces Risk as India-Pakistan Conflict Flares Up

Escalating border tensions between India and Pakistan threaten the robust inflow of Rs 50,000 crore from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) into Indian markets. Concerns of a wider conflict have emerged following Pakistan's drone strikes, which prompted Indian military retaliation. This has caused increased market volatility, with a notable spike in the India VIX and a sharp depreciation of the Indian rupee. Analysts advise investors to remain cautious amidst potential geopolitical disruptions.
