The June quarter was a mixed bag for the equity market as frontline indices rallied sharply while broader markets were under pressure. But overall quarterly earnings season was stable to better-than-expected that boosted investors sentiment in July and August and helped the market hit fresh record high.
Bulls kept tight control on Dalal Street as the Sensex rallied 7.5 percent and the Nifty jumped 6 percent during the quarter ended June 2018, supported largely by domestic inflows when FIIs were net sellers in Indian equity market.
“Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold equities worth Rs 20,000 crore in the quarter ended June 2018. FPIs sold stocks in automobiles, consumer and energy sectors,” Kotak Institutional Equities said in its report.
FPI ownership in the BSE-200 Index came down to 23.8 percent in the June quarter from 24.6 percent in the preceding quarter, it added.
In the same quarter, Kotak said mutual fund (MF) invested Rs 37,500 crore and they bought across all sectors. “MF holding in the BSE-200 Index increased to 6.4 percent in June quarter from 6.3 percent in March quarter.”
