Crude hovering around $100, US yields at 24-year highs and a weak rupee are driving foreign money out of emerging markets, say analysts.

This is an Index / institutional flows event. Passive and institutional flows move price independently of fundamentals, and around rebalancing dates they dominate it.

Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.

  • This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
