In the news from the financial markets. Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) are pouring money into the domestic market at an unprecedented pace. The net investment by overseas investors into the equities cash segment has topped US$6 billion (Rs 440 billion) in the past two months.

The rolling two-month FPI flows into the domestic market currently is the highest since May.

The sharp flows have helped the benchmark Sensex and the Nifty surge 13% in just two months.

The earnings-boosting move of lowering corporation tax rates in September, coupled with easing monetary policy globally, are seen as the reasons for sharp inflows into domestic equities.

Sometime ago, the fall in stock markets indicated the impact of FPIs.

FPIs had been pulling out money since quite some time.
