First day JPM flows not a deluge, but bankers confident of steady flow going ahead

From Thursday to Friday, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) increased their holdings in the index-eligible Fully Accessible Route (FAR) suite of government bonds by Rs 1,545.16 crore, bringing the total to Rs 1.86 lakh crore, according to data from the Clearing Corporation of India Ltd (CCIL) released at 6 pm. This increase left traders somewhat disappointed, as some market segments had anticipated a surge exceeding Rs 10,000 crore on Friday alone.
