FIIs extend selling streak in early sessions of 2026; analysts expect turnaround later

Foreign institutional investors continued their selling streak into early 2026, offloading Indian equities worth Rs 7,608 crore in the first two sessions after a record Rs 1.66 lakh crore outflow in 2025. High valuations and a global shift to AI trades were cited as key drivers for the sustained exit, which also weakened the rupee.
