<h1>Stock indices fall for eighth straight session as foreign investor selling and rate decision risk raise regulatory scrutiny and volatility</h1> Stock indices fell for an eighth consecutive session amid sustained foreign institutional investor sell-offs and market caution ahead of a central bank interest-rate decision, with declines concentrated in realty and consumer durables while banking and select large-cap firms outperformed. Exchange data showed net foreign equity outflows offset by domestic institutional purchases. The central bank's rate-setting committee is conducting deliberations that may affect liquidity and regulatory expectations. The price volatility and cross-border capital movement could trigger heightened supervisory scrutiny under foreign exchange and banking regulations and may prompt market participants to reassess compliance and risk-management measures.
