Today leans constructive — foreign money out, domestic catching it
The read as recorded on this date — the same words and numbers that went to subscribers.
Today leans constructive— US futures soft · Asia bid · rupee firm
Yesterday's thread was whether that foreign buying would hold. It reversed — foreign investors turned net sellers. Foreign money kept selling while domestic funds bought the dip. US futures are lower overnight, but Asia's pulling the other way. The thread to watch: whether that selling carries into the session, or domestic money holds the tape up alone.
