Foreign portfolio investors stood net sellers in domestic equity markets on Monday and sold shares worth Rs 1,555 crore with gross purchases and gross sales of Rs 5,505 crore and Rs 7,060 crore, respectively.
Government bonds ended little changed on Monday, as the central bank’s announcement of another open market sale this month weighed on sentiment amid absence of any fresh triggers.
