  Investors Are Buying the Dip — Should You? The latest data from Business Standard reveals a massive shift in investor psychology. While market corrections used to trigger a "sell-off" panic, the narrative in 2026 has officially flipped. In March 2026, equity mutual fund inflows skyrocketed by 38%, reaching a monumental ₹40,450 crore. This isn't just a monthly win; it's the highest level of inflow we’ve seen since July 2025.
