Nov 06, 2024 - financialpost.com
Swiggy, a popular food platform in India, is set to open its $1.3 billion IPO, but it may face lukewarm interest from retail investors due to indications of a muted listing-day gain and its high valuation. Despite this, foreign investors are expected to show interest due to their optimism about India's long-term consumption growth. In other news, engineering giant Larsen & Toubro is investing $167 million in E2E Networks, a cloud computing firm partnered with Nvidia, indicating a growing interest in AI among Indian conglomerates.

Meanwhile, Indian government bonds have remained stable in the six months leading up to the US presidential race, attracting foreign investors despite record outflows in Indian equities in October. The article also mentions that Indian stocks have historically performed well in the year following US elections, based on trends from the previous four cycles.
