PTI, New Delhi. The rising crude oil prices due to the increasing conflict between Israel and Iran and the better performance of the Chinese markets are adversely affecting the Indian stock markets. Due to these reasons, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have sold shares worth Rs 27,142 crore from the Indian markets in just three trading sessions of October.

Earlier in September, FPIs had bought shares worth Rs 57,724 crore, which was the highest FPI investment in any single month in 2024. According to data from the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), FPIs have been continuously buying in the equity markets since June after withdrawing Rs 34,252 crore during April-May.
