📊 Key Numbers
🏦 Flow Analysis
Foreign investors powered the market higher on 3 Nov 2026, pouring in enough cash to comfortably offset persistent selling by domestic institutions.
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought shares worth ₹20,970.51 Cr and sold ₹14,133.7 Cr, leaving them net buyers of ₹6,836.81 Cr. This marked their third straight session of buying and was more than double the ₹3,114.68 Cr they added in the previous session on 02-Nov-2026. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) moved the other way, purchasing ₹16,723.91 Cr but selling ₹20,402.76 Cr, for a net outflow of ₹3,678.85 Cr. That extended their selling streak to three sessions and was far heavier than the ₹392.2 Cr net sale a day earlier.
Together, institutions still added ₹3,157.96 Cr to the cash market, according to NSE provisional data. The Nifty 50 rallied 1.58% to close at 23,810.85, showing that foreign demand more than absorbed domestic supply. For retail investors, the split matters: a rising index alongside DII selling points to overseas flows doing the heavy lifting, rather than both institutional groups moving in tandem.
The wider trend underlines that divide. Over the last five sessions, FIIs have invested a net ₹13,478.26 Cr, while DIIs have withdrawn ₹2,320.8 Cr. The next sessions will show whether foreign buying remains strong enough to sustain the index’s momentum, whether domestic selling eases after its sharp expansion, and whether the combined net flow stays positive as the Nifty trades near its latest close.
