India Retail Investors Cash Out as Foreign Buying of Stocks Resumes

India Retail Investors Cash Out as Foreign Buying Resumes Good morning... I’m Chiranjivi Chakraborty in Mumbai, bringing you the latest on markets. The weekend brought a major political development, with Dharmendra Pradhan resigning as education minister to take accountability for a series of exam scandals in the face of a growing student protest movement. It was the first time since Prime Minister Narendra Modi took power in 2014 that one of his cabinet ministers had resigned under public pressure. Investors will be keenly watching if this episode signals that the government may face greater pressure to respond to voter concerns over education and employment, potentially influencing its spending priorities and the broader reform agenda. Modi soon faces a key election in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, where jobs for young people are a major concern for many voters.
