“Range-bound momentum continued on main indexes as the market looked for new triggers for a decisive move beyond the 19,800 level. However, broad markets’ undercurrent is strong and rapid buying has emerged in the mid- and small-cap counters as bargaining strategy arose on recent underperforming stocks. The declining oil prices and ease in US bond yields are the key positives for a broader recovery for the market. The European market was mixed ahead of the ECB minutes and the release of manufacturing index data,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

Foreign institutional investors (FII) or Foreign portfolio investors (FPI) are those who invest in the financial assets of a country while not being part of it. On the other hand, domestic institutional investors (DII), as the name suggests, invest in the country they’re living in. Political and economic trends impact the investment decisions of both FIIs and DIIs. Additionally, both types of investors  –  foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and domestic institutional investors (DIIs) – can impact the economy’s net investment flows.
