<h1>Foreign Investor Sell-Offs and New Tariffs Drive Equity Market Declines Amid Weak Fundamentals and High Valuations</h1> Equity markets experienced declines amid ongoing foreign institutional investor (FII) sell-offs and concerns over newly imposed tariffs between two countries. FIIs sold equities worth significant amounts, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) purchased stocks, partially offsetting the outflows. Market analysts noted weak fundamentals and high valuations as reasons for sustained FII selling, exacerbated by tariff-related tensions affecting investor sentiment. The tariffs, recently implemented by one country on imports from the other, contributed to the negative market outlook. Despite some gains in select stocks, overall market indices fell in early trading. Regional markets showed mixed performance, and global oil prices declined slightly. The situation reflects ongoing geopolitical and economic factors influencing market stability and investment flows.
