India Selling ? Has the Big Global AI Trade Finally Started Cracking?<\/p>\n

For months, global money chased AI-linked markets like South Korea and Taiwan while pulling funds out of India. That trade created pressure on Indian equities and kept investors worried about continuous foreign selling.<\/p>\n

But now, the trend may finally be changing.<\/p>\n

According to Elara Securities<\/span><\/span>, the massive global rotation into AI and commodity-heavy markets is beginning to lose momentum. And that could be an important signal for Indian investors watching FII activity closely.<\/p>\n

Foreign India Selling Shows Signs of Slowing Down Amid Cooling AI Trade<\/h2>\n

India had become one of the biggest funding sources for the global AI trade over the past year. Foreign investors continuously reduced exposure to Indian equities while shifting capital toward AI-driven Asian markets.<\/p>\n

Now the pressure appears to be easing.<\/p>\n

India-focused fund outflows slowed to $702 million in May. That is significantly lower compared to $1.5 billion in April and the massive $3.5 billion seen in March.<\/p>\n

More importantly, India-dedicated funds have stabilized after witnessing nearly $6 billion in outflows across 11 straight weeks.<\/p>\n

For investors, this is the first major sign that aggressive foreign selling may be nearing its peak.<\/p>\n
