At the same time, Hong Kong and Shanghai are in the red. American markets closed in the green on Monday. According to the market experts, "A strong pillar of support for this bull market has been the mutual fund industry which is witnessing sustained inflows. The Rs 34,697 crore net inflows into equity funds in May and monthly SIP inflows touching Rs 20,904 crore in May indicate that this domestic support to the market will continue despite the FII selling."
