India's heartbeat index Nifty has shed the September seasonality baggage, hitting lifetime highs on seven sessions in a row and it is most likely to end the month with an uptick of over 3%. Barring PSU banks , IT and oil & gas stocks which have fallen by up to 2.4% at an index level, all other sectors have turned out to be winners.

As on September 27, Nifty’s month-on-month gains stood at 3.7%. While Nifty scaled an all-time high of 26,277.



35 on Friday and is still going strong, in the previous 10-years leading to 2023, it had ended with declines on six occasions. Its worst fall was in 2018 (-6.04) while its highest gain in 2019 (4%).

A robust show this time could be attributed to Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) getting bullish on the Indian equities . So far, they have purchased shares worth Rs 57,359 crore crore. In anticipation of the US Federal Reserve's rate cut of September 18, they had already started buying and have continued the trend post the 50 bps cut.

Prior to 2024, FIIs were net sellers of Indian equities on six out of 10 occasions. Meanwhile, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have been net sellers, just ones holding their ground.
