Investors are refocusing: Indian market loses $1 trillion

International investors are actively leaving the Indian stock market, turning their attention to Chinese assets. Over the past six months, Indian stocks have lost 13% of their value, reducing their market capitalization by $1 trillion. 

The main reasons were high inflation and rising interest rates. At the same time, China is attracting capital thanks to promises of stimulus measures: the Hang Seng index has grown by 36% since September, boosted by expectations in the field of AI and the success of the startup DeepSeek.

Foreign investors have withdrawn about $29 billion from the Indian market, a record for six months. These funds have flowed into China, which attracts confident prospects for economic recovery. As a result, China's share in the portfolio of the British Aubrey Capital Management exceeded India's share for the first time in two years. 

Major players such as Morgan Stanley and Fidelity International are still interested in India, but are gradually reducing their investments. According to Nitin Mathura from Fidelity, the company has become more cautious and slightly reduced the share of Indian assets. The Chinese stock market, due to its cheapness and expected growth, has become an attractive alternative against the backdrop of the US-China trade war.
