Global investors turn to India as AI trade volatility rises
Economic Times··5 Jul
Indian equities are drawing investors seeking refuge from AI-driven market swings, Bloomberg reported on July 5. The Nifty 50 moved one percent or more on fewer days than MSCI Emerging Markets in the first half of 2026. In June it outperformed the EM index by the most since November. Foreign outflows were the smallest in four months.
