Market Outlook
Indian markets are poised for a positive opening on Monday, June 16, 2026, primarily driven by strong global cues. Optimism surrounding a potential US-Iran ceasefire agreement has led to a significant drop in crude oil prices, which is a major positive for India, easing inflation and current account deficit concerns. However, persistent selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remains a key area of concern, though strong buying from Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) continues to provide a crucial support base.
FII / DII Flow
On Friday, June 13, 2026, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers of ₹1,082.20 crore, extending their year-to-date selling streak. Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) provided strong counter-support as net buyers of ₹5,341.30 crore, absorbing the FII outflows.
