## Key points

- India’s Nifty 50 rose nearly 9% in a month.
- Strategists see Indian stocks as a hedge against AI market losses.
- Returning foreign investors could bring an estimated $115 billion.

## Summary

India’s share market has risen while AI-heavy markets have fallen, prompting strategists to describe Indian stocks as a possible hedge for investors reducing exposure to crowded AI trades. The shift could draw foreign investment back to India, where overseas investors have been underweight for nearly two years.

JPMorgan strategist Rajiv Batra estimated that foreign investors returning to neutral positions could bring about $115 billion in net inflows. India’s Nifty 50 gained nearly 9% over the past month, while several AI-exposed markets entered bear or correction territory. Strategists also cited lower oil prices and US Treasury yields, improving Indian earnings growth and strong domestic demand.
