The Sebi board has widened FPI access to non-agri commodity derivatives and expanded the investment universe for PMS firms, while easing settlement and advertising rules.
The analysis
This is an Index / institutional flows event. Passive and institutional flows move price independently of fundamentals, and around rebalancing dates they dominate it.
Why it matters
- Sustained FII or DII direction moves the whole market, not just the names being bought — it sets the tape's tone.
- With SEBI involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
