Today leans cautious — foreign money out, domestic catching it

The read as recorded on this date — the same words and numbers that went to subscribers.

Today leans cautious

US futures flat · Asia weak · crude firming
Yesterday's thread was whether that foreign selling would carry through. It carried — foreign investors stayed net sellers. Foreign money kept selling while domestic funds bought the dip. US futures are steady overnight, and Asia's trading down this morning. The thread to watch: whether that selling carries into the session, or domestic money holds the tape up alone.
