Foreign investors have increased inflows into Indian stocks to a nine-month high in May. They purchased a net $5bn of the countrys shares last month, the most since August, according to Bloomberg. The purchases continued for 24 consecutive days, the longest string since August last year. The surge in investment has propelled Indian equities to the top of emerging Asia's leaderboard, with the Nifty 50 Index up over 6%. The robust growth of the Indian economy is a significant selling point for foreign investors, particularly with China exhibiting less momentum and fears growing in the US of an economic downturn.
