Today looks mixed — foreign money in, domestic trimming
The read as recorded on this date — the same words and numbers that went to subscribers.
Today looks mixed
US futures soft · Asia bid · crude firming
Foreign money came back in while domestic funds trimmed. US futures are lower overnight, but Asia's pulling the other way. The thread to watch: whether that buying holds through the session, or domestic trimming caps it.
BSE delivery 63.6% on Mon 10 Aug — in line with its 62% one-month norm.
