Foreign investors raise bets that India stock market rally may stall
Foreign investors are becoming more cautious about the Indian stock market, indicating a three-month rally may run out of legs despite retail traders growing optimistic, according to monthly derivatives data analysed by two brokerages. The Nifty 50 has risen about 12% from March through May, largely due to better-than-expected corporate earnings and easing global trade risks. That is nearly double the 6.6% gain in the MSCI Emerging Markets index in that time. Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) pumped $2.66 billion into Indian equities over that period and cut their short positions on the Nifty. A short seller borrows stock at a higher price betting its value will decline, at which point they buy the stock and pocket the profit. However, FPIs have started the June derivatives series – which runs from May 30 to June 25 – with about $2 billion in Nifty index futures shorts, the highest since February, according to Nuvama Alternative and Quantitative Research. In contrast, retail investors and high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), called the client category, turned bullish with long positions worth $1.54 billion on Nifty futures, compared with $546 million in shorts from early May. Indian benchmarks end May with gains as investors wait for growth data 'This divergence sets up a potential tug-of-war between institutional caution and retail optimism, and could lead to a brief pause in the market rally in June,' said Abhilash Pagaria, head of Nuvama. Indeed, the Nifty's gains have weakened in each month – from 6.3% in March to 3.5% in April and to about 2% in May. 'Markets appear to be waiting for some concrete cues before turning bullish,' said Sriram Velayudhan, VP at IIFL Securities. Velayudhan expects the Nifty 50 to trade between 24,300 and 25,300 points over the June series, compared with its current level of about 24,800 points. Analysts expect the Nifty to hit new highs by end-2025, but say a correction is likely in the next three months, according to a Reuters poll.

The payment of distributions, if any, is not guaranteed and may fluctuate at any time. The payment of distributions should not be confused with an exchange traded fund's ("ETF") performance, rate of return, or yield. If distributions paid by the ETF are greater than the performance of the ETF, distributions paid may include a return of capital and an investor's original investment will decrease. A return of capital is not taxable to the investor but will generally reduce the adjusted cost base of the securities held for tax purposes. Distributions are paid as a result of capital gains realized by an ETF, and income and dividends earned by an ETF are taxable to the investor in the year they are paid. The investor's adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If the investor's adjusted cost base goes below zero, investors will realize capital gains equal to the amount below zero. Future distribution dates may be amended at any time. To recognize that these distributions have been allocated to investors for tax purposes the amounts of these distributions should be added to the adjusted cost base of the units held. The characterization of distributions, if any, for tax purposes, (such as dividends/other income/capital gains, etc.) will not be known for certain until after the ETF's tax year-end. Therefore, investors will be informed of the tax characterization after year-end and not with each distribution if any. For tax purposes, these amounts will be reported annually by brokers on official tax statements. Please refer to the applicable ETF distribution policy in the prospectus for more information.

With US stocks faltering, why not look to emerging markets
If investors had been surveying their portfolios in the lead-up to Trump's 'liberation day' on April 2 (when the president announced trade tariffs), they would have been justified in being a little concerned about any emerging market stocks that they held. Countries seen as emerging, because the economy is growing and becoming more global — such as China and India but also Malaysia and Indonesia — could have been in for a kicking: tariffs might have strengthened the dollar (as they did in Trump's first term), and smaller economies are typically hurt more by any big changes or tariffs. The reality, however, has been very different. Since the start of the year, the MSCI Emerging Markets index, which tracks companies from 26 countries, is

Worst Weekly Collapse Since 2020: Inverse ETFs Soar
U.S. markets suffered a major blow last week as renewed trade tensions and inflation concerns rattled investors. The S&P 500declined 8.2%, recording its worst weekly performance since 2020. The Dow Jones Industrial Averagenosedived over 7% and officially entered correction territory. The Nasdaq Composite sank 8.6%, closing in bear market territory. Due to the market crash, some inverse exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offered 25%+ returns last week. These ETFs include Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x Shares SOXS (up 40.1%), MAX Airlines -3X Inverse Leveraged ETNs JETD (up 36%), MicroSectors Travel -3x Inverse Leveraged ETN FLYD (up 33.8%), Direxion Daily S&P 500 High Beta Bear 3X Shares HIBS (up 30.4%), MicroSectors U.S. Big Banks -3 Inverse Leveraged ETN BNKD (up 28.2%) and Direxion Daily Dow Jones Internet Bear 3X Shares WEBS (up 25%). The selloff worsened following news that China will impose a 34% tariff on all U.S. products starting April 10, parallelling the additional 34% tariff that the Trump administration had announced on April 2. President Donald Trump introduced and enacted a two-step tariff strategy on April 2, 2025 marking the implementation of his "Liberation Day" plans. A baseline tariff of 10% was imposed on imports from various countries starting April 5. Additional duties will be levied on select nations deemed the worst offenders, taking effect on April 9. Trump stated that these extra rates were determined based on both tariff and non-tariff barriers, which have long been criticized. The move heightened fears of a prolonged global trade war, with investors fearing trade retaliations rather than negotiations (read: Inside Trump Tariffs and Their Impact on Sector ETFs). Amid the market chaos, investors sought refuge in government bonds. The 10-year Treasury yielddropped to 3.9%, approaching its lowest level since October, reflecting growing concern over economic uncertainty. While markets will attempt to recoup losses, uncertainty related to the trade war will dominate the global markets in the near term. So, it could be a wise decision to short markets at least in the near term to earn some quick profits. Following are the ETFs that could be used to short markets.
