India-US trade deal impact: FPI mood likely to improve
04-Feb-2026

The US-India trade deal announcement lifted foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) mood significantly on Tuesday. However, experts said that their net purchase of over Rs 5,000 crore should be seen more as a reaction to the positive development rather than a change in stance. “This is not actually a trade deal, but an exchange of tweets. I think the deal is still being worked out and FPIs may not necessarily rush to buy because of a tweet on Truth Social (Donald Trump’s social media handle),” said UR Bhat, co-founder and director of Alphaniti Fintech, adding that the fine print of the deal needs to be looked at.
