weekly buying and domestic support

During the last week of October, specifically from October 26 to October 30, foreign investors also made a net investment of 6,300 crore rupees in the market. However, this one week of buying cannot be considered a permanent change in the trend.

During this period, domestic institutional investors maintained stability in the market. While FPIs sold large-cap financial shares on one hand, they bought shares of pharmaceutical, healthcare, and digital platform companies on the other hand.
