India's Global Market Share Hits 29-Month Low Amid FII Exit, Rupee Fall

• India's share in global market capitalization fell to a 29-month low of 3.47% in 2025, last seen in July 2023.
• Foreign investors (FIIs) sold over 2.56 lakh crore rupees in 2025, citing high valuations, weak results, and global uncertainties.
• The rupee weakened past 91 against the dollar, impacting foreign investor returns and increasing selling pressure.
• While Sensex and Nifty rose ~9%, the broader market showed weakness, with BSE MidCap up 0.5% and SmallCap down ~9%.
• Global equity market cap reached an all-time high of $147.58 trillion, with other markets like China, Japan, and Germany increasing their share.

Why It Matters: FII selling, weak rupee, and broader market underperformance caused India's global market share to drop.
