FPIs pull out ₹27,000 cr in May, 2026 outflows hit ₹2.2 trillion mark

I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) withdrew ₹27,048 crore from Indian equities in May, bringing total outflows in 2026 to ₹2.2 trillion, surpassing 2025's ₹1.66 trillion. The trend reflects global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. A stronger US dollar and high bond yields are driving investors towards safer assets. The rupee has weakened from ₹90 to ₹96.14 against the US dollar, with further declines possible if outflows continue. Investment in AI companies is diverting funds from Indian markets, which may change if the AI bubble cools.
