Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) play a pivotal role in India’s capital markets. Their inflows and outflows often decide the short-term direction of indices like Nifty and Sensex. However, investing in an emerging economy like India also exposes FIIs to risks such as:
To manage these risks, FIIs actively use commodities as a hedging tool.
When FIIs expect volatility in equities, they often take positions in gold futures on MCX.
India imports over 80% of its crude requirements. Rising crude prices mean inflationary pressures, which hurt equity markets. FIIs hedge this by:
Metals like copper, aluminium, and zinc are highly cyclical.
Though not as liquid as metals or energy, agri-commodities on NCDEX provide FIIs a tool to manage inflation-linked risks. Rising food inflation can hurt consumer companies, so FIIs hedge through contracts in commodities like soybean or chana.
FIIs use regulated platforms like:
With SEBI oversight, these platforms ensure transparency and liquidity for hedging activities.
When FIIs hedge via commodities:
For example, in August 2025, FII outflows of nearly ₹47,000 crore from equities coincided with higher participation in gold and crude futures, showing how hedging balances exposure.
While FIIs use sophisticated hedging models, retail and HNI investors can also benefit from commodity diversification. With Swastika Investmart, you get:

Q3. Do FIIs trade directly on Indian commodity exchanges?
Yes, through SEBI-regulated platforms like MCX and NCDEX, often via sub-accounts or participatory notes.
Q4. How does FII hedging impact retail investors?
It improves market liquidity, price discovery, and offers new opportunities for retail traders.
Q5. Can Indian investors also use commodities for hedging?
Yes, investors can diversify portfolios using commodities to reduce equity-linked risks.
FIIs are not just equity players—they are active risk managers who use commodities to stabilize their India exposure. By trading in gold, crude, metals, and agri-commodities, they hedge against inflation, currency moves, and global shocks, ensuring long-term portfolio balance.
For Indian investors, understanding these FII strategies can unlock smarter ways to invest.

सोने की कीमतें तीन सप्ताह के उच्चतम स्तर के करीब पहुंच गई है, क्योंकि अमेरिका से कमजोर आर्थिक आकड़ो से अटकलें लगाईं जा रही है कि फेडरल रिजर्व के पास ब्याज दरें बढ़ाने के लिए बहुत कम गुंजाइश है। पिछले सप्ताह सोने में मजबूत बढ़त देखी गई क्योंकि कमजोर अमेरिकी जीडीपी और रोजगार आंकड़ो ने डॉलर और ट्रेजरी यील्ड को कम कर दिया। चीनी आर्थिक मंदी की बढ़ती आशंकाओं के बीच सोने की सुरक्षित निवेश मांग में भी वृद्धि देखी गई, क्योंकि एशिया की सबसे बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्था चीन के आंकड़े मंदी की और संकेत कर रहे है। चीन के आंकड़ों से पता चला है कि मैन्युफैक्चरिंग सेक्टर अगस्त में लगातार पांचवें महीने सिकुड़ गया है, जबकि नॉन-मैन्युफैक्चरिंग विकास भी धीमा हो गया है। आर्थिक आकड़ो ने चीन में निरंतर आर्थिक कमजोरी की ओर इशारा किया है, जबकि चीन ने अर्थव्यवस्था को समर्थन देने के लिए और अधिक प्रोत्साहन उपाय करना जारी रखा है। फोकस अब चीन के अधिक प्रोत्साहन उपायों पर है, खबरों से स्पष्ट होता है कि पीपुल्स बैंक ऑफ चाइना तरलता को बढ़ावा देने के लिए मॉर्गेज और युआन जमा दरों को और कम करने की योजना बना रहा है, और फॉरेक्स रिज़र्व रेक्विरेमेंट रेश्यो को पिछले सप्ताह कम कर दिया है। अमेरिकी डॉलर, जो सोने के विपरीत दिशा में चलता है, पिछले सप्ताह 1 प्रतिशत तक लुढ़क गया और बेंचमार्क अमेरिकी बांड यील्ड उच्च स्तरों से पीछे हट गई है जिससे सोने और चांदी की चमक बढ़ती दिखाई दी है। पिछले सप्ताह एमसीएक्स में ऑक्टूबर वायदा सोना और दिसंबर वायदा चांदी में 1.5 प्रतिशत बढ़ोतरी दर्ज की गई है। अमेरिका ब्याज दरें अधिक होने के बावजूद कोर पीसीई प्राइस इंडेक्स के आंकड़े स्थिर रहे जबकि पर्सनल स्पेंडिंग में बढ़ोतरी दर्ज की गई है। लेकिन ऊंची दरों के बीच अगर वैश्विक आर्थिक हालात बिगड़ते हैं तो इस साल भी सोने में कुछ मजबूती देखने को मिल सकती है। हाल के अमेरिकी जीडीपी आंकड़ों से पता चला है कि साल की पहली छमाही में आर्थिक मंदी का असर नहीं होने के बावजूद, दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्था अभी ठंडी पड़ी हुई है। त्यौहार सीजन के पहले कीमती धातुओं में घरेलु मांग बढ़ने के आसार है, और भारत में अलनीनो प्रभाव के चलते 122 साल में अब तक सबसे कम बारिश हुई है जिससे फ़ूड इन्फ्लेशन बढ़ने की सम्भावना भी है, जो कीमती धातुओं के भाव को सपोर्ट कर सकता है।
इस सप्ताह कीमती धातुओं के भाव में तेज़ी बनी रहने की सम्भावना है। एमसीएक्स अक्टूबर वायदा सोने में सपोर्ट 58800 रुपये पर है और रेजिस्टेंस 60500 रुपये पर है। दिसंबर वायदा चांदी में सपोर्ट 74000 रुपये पर है और रेजिस्टेंस 78000 रुपये पर है।

Rishabh Instruments is a multinational company offering energy efficiency solutions. The company has a diverse product portfolio and a vertically integrated operation. The company is operating globally in a large, addressable market. Their brands ‘Rishabh’, ‘Lumel’, Sifam, and ‘Tinsley’ are well recognised in multiple countries. The financial position of the company is currently not very attractive, but it is stable.
However, multi-location operations and global sales raise concerns related to international exposure. Secondly, any kind of shortage in their production inputs, like semiconductors, could also impact their business. The IPO is coming at a P/E valuation of 34.34x. Though the company does not have any listed peers to compare, its valuation is looking high in general. We will recommend this IPO only for high-risk investors.

While the valuations may not appear overly attractive, this IPO could still deliver a moderate return, thus investors may apply for listing gain.
