[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] In a quarter marked by market jitters, Trump tariff tantrums, and valuation vertigo, India’s high net-worth individuals (HNIs) showed they’re not shy about taking bold bets but they’re also not afraid to pull the plug. Data from Prime Database reveals that HNIs poured over Rs 760 crore into battered Swiggy shares, Rs 248 crore into Eternal (earlier known as Zomato), Rs 342 crore into Jio Financial Services during the March quarter, even as they aggressively exited darlings like Nykaa and Premier Energies. This frenzy of rotation wasn’t without broader implications: the total value of HNI holdings in NSE-listed companies fell by a staggering Rs 1.02 lakh crore, dropping to Rs 8.07 lakh crore as of March 31, 2025, an 11.27% plunge from the previous quarter, according to the data. Their shareholding by value shrank to 1.98% from 2.09% in just three months. The numbers clearly suggest that HNIs used the quarter to book profits and rotate capi...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Citing improving economic fundamentals and a more stable currency outlook, independent emerging markets commentator Geoff Dennis, in an interaction with ETNow expressed his intent to gradually rebuild positions in India. Despite a challenging start to the year for Indian equities, Dennis believes the market presents a compelling opportunity for long-term investors. Dennis acknowledged that India’s high valuations and a weaker-than-expected GDP number contributed to the recent downturn. However, he expects economic growth to recover, supported by monetary and fiscal measures. “You have now got real interest rates, which are around 200 basis points, so there is scope maybe for more rate cuts eventually from the RBI. You got a tax cut coming through as well,” he explained, suggesting that these factors could create a more favorable investment climate. He added that the stability of the Indian rupee in the face of potential dollar strength is...
