“Despite FED adopting a cautious stance in its minutes and refraining from indicating a rate cut, the market recovered from the day’s correction and ended with mild gain. On the other hand, the broad market witnessed some profit booking as investors’ focus shifted to the primary market, marked by a set of IPOs scheduled for this week. However, the undercurrent is positive, with a cooling of inflation and an easing US bond yield supporting a short- to medium-term rally,” 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.
