Foreign investors poured ₹56,771 crore into Indian stocks in just 8 trading days — the biggest rush since December 2020. That money is flowing into companies your SIP and mutual funds already hold, which is a big reason your portfolio may be looking better than it did a month ago.
If you kept investing through the recent dips, this is the payoff showing up in your account value today.
What this means for you
- Your SIP or mutual fund is likely worth more this week than last month — no action needed, it's already working for you.
- If you paused your SIP during the dip, you may have missed part of this recovery — timing the market rarely beats staying invested.
- Your investment app may show green today, but foreign money that flows in fast can flow out just as fast, so don't expect this pace every month.
- If you're also building an emergency fund in an FD or savings account, keep that money separate from this rally — it's there for stability, not growth.
What you can do
- Keep your SIP running on autopilot — don't chase this rally with a lump sum you'll need soon.
- If you've been waiting to start a SIP, this rally isn't a reason to rush in with a lump sum — start small and stay consistent instead.
