Heavy FII selling, F&O expiry torpedo relief rally

The relief rally fizzled out sooner than expected. The heaviest selling by foreign investors in more than three weeks, amid rising US bond yields and a strengthening dollar, brought the markets down by over 1.5% on Thursday, leaving investors poorer by ₹1.55 trillion.

The expiry of Nifty monthly option contracts on Thursday also dampened sentiment.

Thursday's fall put an end to a rally that saw benchmark indices NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex gain 1,100 and 3,700 points, respectively, from their lows a week ago. Last Thursday, the Nifty and Sensex had tumbled 3,014 and 9,176 points from their respective record highs on 27 September to lows of 23,263.15 and 76,802.73.
