Asian share markets are lower today as the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank continued to reverberate across global markets.

The Nikkei is down 2.1% while the Hang Seng is trading lower by 1.8%. The Shanghai Composite is trading lower by 0.9%.

Sliding bank shares dragged Wall Street indices down on Monday with investors worried about contagion from the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, but trade was choppy and the Nasdaq ended higher as some sectors benefited from hopes the Fed could ease up interest rates hikes.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.3% lower while the tech heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 0.8%.

Speaking of stock markets, in recent weeks, attempts have been made to question India's outlook. Is there an attempt at a global level to curb India's rise? Or are the risks for real?

Are the super powers happy to watch India transform from being merely an influential entity into one whose weight and preferences define international politics?

Is there a sinister plot from outside the country to tarnish and taint India's governance, democratic polity, and institutions? Or are the risks for real?

FPIs finally turn bullish on India because of Adani block deal

Reversing their selling trend, foreign investors have infused over Rs 135 billion (bn) (about Rs 13,500 crore) in Indian share markets so far this month primarily driven by bulk investment from US-based GQG Partners in the Adani Group companies.

This came following a net outflow of Rs 52.9 bn in February and Rs 288.5 bn in January. Prior to that, FPIs made a net investment of Rs 111.2 bn in December, data with the depositories showed.

Going ahead, FPIs are likely to be cautious in their approach in the coming days as the collapse of the SVB Bank in the US has impacted sentiments in the market.

According to the data, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) invested Rs 135.4 bn in Indian equities till March 10.

Although like many other countries, India has also been going through a rate hike cycle given high inflation levels, it is still perceived to be relatively better placed with respect to macro conditions compared with other markets.
