Gold (Flat)
Gold was little changed as uncertainty persisted over a ceasefire extension in the Middle East that
could reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ease concerns over inflation.
Fund Flow Action
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers for the third consecutive trading session on May 29, offloading equities worth more than Rs 21,000 crore. In contrast, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) extended their buying streak to a ninth straight session, purchasing equities worth Rs 16,764 crore, helping cushion the impact of heavy foreign outflows on the market.
