Mutual funds drastically increased their purchases on Indian stock markets on Tuesday from the earlier day's net buy worth Rs 12 crore in tandem with inflows from foreign institutional investors (FIIs) in the past few days.

On 20 September, mutual funds were net buyers of shares worth Rs. 1,010 crore, having purchased equities worth Rs 2,089 crore and sold stocks for Rs 1,079 crore.  

FIIs too are apparently bullish on Indian stocks, as is available from their net buy position for the sixth straight day on Thursday; they were net buyers of equities worth Rs. 336.87 crore, according to provisional data available with the National Stock Exchange. 

The markets opened on a bullish note and closed with gains after the US Federal Reserve to leave interest rates unchanged.

"Markets praised Fed's decision as the global bond yield reverted and rupee strengthened. Due to a neutral statement, the market believe that the risk for December 16 rate hike is roughly balanced adding positive sentiment," the Financial Chronicle quoted Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services, as saying.
