Today leans constructive — foreign money in, domestic trimming
The read as recorded on this date — the same words and numbers that went to subscribers.
Today leans constructive— US futures firm · Asia mixed
Yesterday's thread was whether that foreign buying would hold. It held — foreign investors stayed net buyers. Foreign money came back in while domestic funds trimmed. US futures are higher overnight, and Asia's mixed this morning. The thread to watch: whether that buying holds through the session, or domestic trimming caps it.
