Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) turned net sellers in September, withdrawing Rs 35,860 crore from Indian equities amid global uncertainties, higher US bond yields and elevated crude oil prices.

"The surge in the US 10-year bond yield to above 5.2 per cent and concern that crude might remain elevated for longer also influenced the renewed FPI selling. Sustained FPI selling has significantly weakened the Indian market which witnessed eight consecutive weeks of losses," V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments said.
