On July 24 it will auction ₹28,000 crore of government securities, with results to be published later today, offering a benchmark for yield movements. Additionally, the central bank circulated guidance on implementing Section 51A of the UAPA, updating the Taliban sanctions list, which may impact banks’ AML processes.

Investor sentiment and capital flows
Domestic investors now hold a record share of Indian equities as foreign inflows surge, reshaping market dynamics.
SEBI data shows domestic investors own a record 17 % of Indian equities, while foreign investor participation fell to a 15‑year low, indicating a shift toward home‑grown capital. Contrasting this, FPIs injected about ₹20,200 crore into equities in July, ending a four‑month sell‑off and providing fresh liquidity. These divergent trends are critical for gauging short‑term market direction and fund manager strategies.
