CJP protest in Delhi: Is it wise to pause fresh capital allocation to the Indian equities? Explained

Foreign institutional investors, who turned net buyers in July 2026 after nearly a year of selling, may pull back, weakening the rupee against the US dollar. Rising crude oil prices from escalating US-Iran tensions add to uncertainty, prompting analysts to advise investors to hold off on bottom fishing and consider gold as a safe haven.
