Today leans constructive
US futures firm · Asia mixed · crude firming
Friday's thread was whether that foreign selling would carry through. It flipped — foreign investors came back as net buyers. US futures are higher overnight, and Asia's mixed this morning — a clean constructive lean, nothing pulling hard against it into the open.
BSE delivery 64.9% on Fri 7 Aug, above its 62% one-month norm but within the usual daily range.
