Indian equities extend four-week gain as FIIs return and DIIs stay buyers

Indian equity markets closed the week with gains for the fourth consecutive week, as foreign institutional investors (FIIs) turned net buyers (~₹342 crore) and domestic institutionals (DIIs) continued buying (~₹5,945 crore) despite mixed global cues. Markets are consolidating near record highs, with investors balancing strong domestic earnings momentum against selective profit-booking and global uncertainty. Analysts note the narrowness of the rally and caution that broader participation will be key for a sustainable uptrend, especially with global headwinds still present.
