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.
“Nifty rose for the second consecutive session on Jan 03 after recovering from pre-noon losses. The advance-decline ratio fell but was above 1:1 at 1.36:1. Non-bank financials had a field day on rotational buying. Global stock markets rose on Tuesday amid growing expectations that U.S. interest rates will rise at a slower pace this year and optimism that China’s Covid infections may have peaked. Nifty has shown a gradual move over the past two days with minimal intra-day range. This denotes a lack of conviction on either side by the participants though positive bias prevails for the time being. A move above 18265 could result in a faster move. On the other hand, a breach of 18080 could lead to a fresh down move,” said Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research, HDFC Securities.
