NSE shares not listed on any exchange

A total of 10 deals took place in over 43 lakh shares, in which sellers were NRIs and buyers were local investors. A huge deal of 17 lakh shares was done at the rate of Rs 3,210 per share.
Nimish Shah, Chief Investment Officer, Waterfield Advisors said, “Indian markets were already trading at a higher premium to other emerging markets. So apart from valuations, interest rate movement also played a key role in selling FIIs.
The return of FFIs in emerging markets will largely depend on the volatility in interest rates in the US. We believe in the medium term as rates stabilize and global growth picks up. Only then will the equity allocation by FIIs resume.”
