Market Performance: India's benchmark indexes are expected to start weakly after experiencing eight consecutive sessions of declines, driven by factors such as an earnings slowdown, high valuations, and trade uncertainties. The Nifty and BSE Sensex both lost about 2.5% last week, with small-caps and mid-caps facing significant drops.
Foreign Investment Impact: A liquidity crunch due to ongoing foreign selling has contributed to the market downturn, with Foreign Portfolio Investors offloading approximately $11.5 billion in Indian shares this year amid concerns over U.S. rate cuts and global trade issues.
