Friday, August 14, 2026. Sensex falls 300 pts, Nifty below 24,350. Rupee holds 95.44 on RBI intervention. SEBI proposes colour-coded credit risk-o-meter for debt securities.

SEBI wants bond investors to see credit risk before they buy—mandatory colour-coded risk labels are coming for debt securities. FPI flow story is split: top FPIs outran Nifty and Sensex in Q1, but SEBI data shows FPIs were the biggest anchor sellers in IPO 30-day windows. Rupee pinned at 95.44 with RBI support while Japan’s yen intervention puts BOJ rate path in focus. Nikkei gains on softer US inflation, China/HK slip on tight liquidity. So what? Cautious open likely. Nifty below 24,350, RBI defending rupee, SEBI risk rules and FPI anchor selling keep sentiment range-bound. Watch Nifty 24,300.
