In fact, the month is on course to witness largest outflows since August 2013, says a report as FIIs have this month sold $1.79 billion worth of debt and equity.

Global cues are mixed. Dow Jones gained 0.67%, S&P 500 added 0.92% and Nasdaq was up 1.47%.  Among the Asian indices, Japan's Nikkei 225 is over half a percent higher, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index is trading a percent lower while China's Shanghai index has gained a percent.

The mid-cap carnage has hit not just retail investors but FIIs too. About 100 stocks, in which FIIs hold more than 10%, have fallen more than 70% in the last three years, says a report.
