  "summary": "US brokerage Goldman Sachs believes the heavy selling by foreign investors is largely behind us, and expects the Nifty to rise about 10 percent to 26,500 over the next year.",
  "content": "Even as tensions flare up in West Asia, there is some encouraging news for Indian equities. The well-known US brokerage Goldman Sachs believes foreign institutional investors (FIIs) are set to gradually make their way back to India. In an assessment released on Monday, the firm said the NSE's benchmark index, the Nifty, could jump about 10 percent over the next year to reach the 26,500 mark.\n\nSelling pressure appears to be easing\nAccording to Goldman Sachs, the phase of aggressive selling by foreign investors is probably over. The firm argues that two factors, a stronger outlook for the domestic economy and the reduced holding of foreign investors in Indian shares, could slowly lift market sentiment. When existing ownership is low, investors have plenty of room to step up their buying once again.\n\nA record $30 billion left in three months\nThe assessment noted that in the first half of 2026, the Indian market was used by foreign investors as a place to raise cash. That is why, in just a little over three months, a record $30 billion of capital flowed out of the country. The figure clearly reflects the dip in foreign investor confidence during that stretch.\n\nThe mood shifted from mid-June\nThe picture, however, now seems to be turning. Since the middle of June, foreign investors have become net buyers and have poured in close to $2 billion into the Indian market. This buying has been seen mainly in the financial sector, that is, banking and finance companies. Since foreign funds still hold a small share of Indian stocks, they have considerable room to raise their investment going forward.\n\nMarkets had opened sharply lower on Monday\nAmid the fresh, fast-rising tensions in West Asia, domestic markets opened with a heavy fall on Monday. At the start of trade the Sensex slid 606 points and the Nifty dropped 168 points. But a strong surge in IT stocks then steadied the market and drove a remarkable recovery, so by the close the market ended slightly higher in the green.\n\nBoth indices closed in the green after recovering\nOn Monday the BSE Sensex ended with a modest gain of 47.01 points, or 0.06 percent, at 77,616.40. The NSE's Nifty 50 index, meanwhile, closed up 4.10 points, or 0.02 percent, at 24,211.00. In this way, a market that had opened with a steep fall managed to compose itself after a day of swings and finish in positive territory.\n\nWhat this means for you\n• For investors: If foreign investors return and the Nifty moves toward 26,500, long-term equity investors could benefit.\n• For market watchers: With foreign buying concentrated in banking and finance stocks, that sector may see activity, though the West Asia tensions remain a risk.\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n1. What target has Goldman Sachs set for the Nifty?\nThe firm believes the Nifty could rise about 10 percent over the next year to reach the 26,500 mark.\n\n2. How much capital left in the first half of 2026?\nA record $30 billion of capital flowed out of the country in just a little over three months.\n\n3. Are foreign investors buying in India now?\nYes, since mid-June foreign investors have become net buyers and have invested close to $2 billion.\n\n4. Which sector saw the most foreign buying?\nThe buying was seen mainly in the financial sector, that is, banking and finance companies.\n\n5. Where did the Sensex and Nifty close on Monday?\nThe Sensex closed up 47.01 points at 77,616.40, while the Nifty 50 closed up 4.10 points at 24,211.00.\n\n6. Why did the market open lower on Monday?\nMarkets opened with a heavy fall due to fast-rising tensions in West Asia, with the Sensex down 606 points and the Nifty down 168 points at the open.",
