Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) bought equities worth Rs 5,869.06 crore on Tuesday, according to exchange data. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), however, offloaded shares worth Rs 3,978.61 crore.

In Asian markets, Seoul, Shanghai and Hong Kong traded higher while Tokyo quoted lower. The US markets ended flat on Tuesday.

“The ongoing trend of largecaps outperforming mid and smallcaps is likely to sustain, going forward. FII selling and the countervailing trend of DII buying is likely to continue. This will impart strength to largecap financials, particularly banking stocks like HDFC, ICICI, Axis and Kotak which are fairly valued in this market with elevated valuations,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.

Global oil benchmark Brent crude declined 0.21 per cent to USD 75.88 a barrel.

The BSE benchmark plummeted 930.55 points or 1.15 per cent to settle at 80,220.72 on Tuesday. The NSE Nifty tumbled 309 points or 1.25 per cent to 24,472.10.
