Below the Quote on FII flows 23.08.2025 from Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited

"FIIs continue their selling spree in August. This month, up to August 23rd, FIIs sold equity for Rs 25564 crores through the exchanges taking the total selling this year up to 23rd August to Rs 157440 crores. FIIs have been sellers in the bond market, too. Since FIIs continue to invest through the primary market/ QIP route, the principal reason for selling through the exchanges is the high valuations in India relative to other markets, particularly emerging markets. 

FIIs were sellers in banking and financials, too, since this segment accounts for bulk of their assets under custody. They continued to sell in IT on concerns of poor growth prospects and limited earnings visibility of this segment. FIIs were consistent buyers in telecom and capital goods stocks. In the near term FIIs may reduce their selling since dollar is weakening responding to rate cut expectations from the Fed in September. The Fed chief Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech indicates a rate cut in September."
