The continuous depreciation in the Indian rupee and the overall risk aversion towards emerging markets has made foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) wary of the Indian equity market with the current month witnessing outflows in excess of Rs.12,000 crore in five trading sessions. While the month has just begun, the pace at which overseas investors are selling shares in the Indian market could make the current month one of the worst-ever in terms of foreign money outflows. (A)
The intensity of the selling spree can be further gauged from the fact that in the last 16 years, since 2002, there have been only five instances of FPIs selling shares worth more than Rs. 12,000 crore in a single month. Incidentally, the last time FPIs sold over Rs. 12,000 crore in a single month was in August 2017 when such investors were net sellers at Rs. 12,770 crore.
Market participants attribute the outflows to the record fall in the Indian rupee combined with the overall weakness in the emerging equity markets with the rising interest rates in the U.S. acting as a catalyst. While a rise in the interest rate in the U.S. market makes investing in emerging markets less attractive, currently the rates in U.S. at about 3.2% are at a multi-year high.
“The fall in the Indian rupee is the single largest factor affecting foreign flows in the Indian market,” said the head of the institutional desk of a domestic brokerage. “While the outflow from the Indian market is a part of the overall aversion towards emerging markets, it would continue till the rupee sees some amount of stability. (B) The near future, however, is expected to see more outflows as other global and domestic macro-economic factors stabilise as well,” he added. The Indian rupee is the worst performing Asian currency in the current calendar year, having fallen more than 15% in 2018.
Foreign investors are net sellers at Rs. 25,321 crore in the current calendar year, which has seen some months of heavy selling earlier as well by FPIs, who have historically been looked upon as the prime drivers of any bull run in the Indian market. In February, FPIs were net sellers at Rs. 11,423 crore. In May and September, FPIs sold Indian shares totalling Rs. 10,060 crore and Rs. 10,825 crore. The highest-ever single month selling by foreign investors at Rs. 18,244 crore was seen in November 2016.
Q1. Which of the following is NOT INCORRECT according to the passage?
Solution:
The statement in option (d) refers to the first two lines of paragraph 2. Hence, (d) is the correct answer here.
Solution:
Solution:
STIMULATOR: Something/someone that make (something) more active; Something/someone cause or encourage (something) to happen or develop.
ENCUMBRANCE: Something that causes problems or difficulties for someone or something.
Solution:
Now, ‘till’ refers to a point in time when the rupee stabilises. Therefore usage of ‘unless’ is wrong as it would refer to the ‘condition’ of rupee seeing some amount of stability. Whereas, usage of ‘until’ is absolutely fine here as it is synonymous with ‘till’.
Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer here.
Solution:
Solution:
Hence clearly, all the words given in the options are synonymous with ‘Wary’. Therefore, ‘none of these’ is the correct answer choice here.
Solution:
Hence, statement (a) can be mentioned from the original statement.

(D) Tracking individuals as they move from paid employment to setting up their own business venture, the study found that business owners with above average optimism earned some 30% less than those with below average optimism.
