<h1>Benchmark indices slip fourth day as FIIs sell Rs3,551cr, H-1B fee shock and profit-booking hit markets</h1> Benchmark equity indices fell for a fourth consecutive session as sustained foreign institutional outflows and concerns over a steep US H-1B visa fee hike weighed on investor sentiment. The large-cap index dropped about 0.47% to roughly 81,716 and the broader index fell about 0.45% to near 25,057. Foreign investors sold approximately Rs 3,551 crore of equities. Profit-booking after recent tax reforms, elevated domestic valuations and moderating earnings growth were cited as drivers, with IT stocks underperforming. Oil prices rose modestly and the currency recovered intraday to settle around 88.72 per US dollar.
