Today looks mixed
The read as recorded on this date — the same words and numbers that went to subscribers.
Today looks mixed— US futures firm · Asia weak
Yesterday's thread was whether that foreign buying would hold. It held — foreign investors stayed net buyers. A calm tape into the open. US futures are higher overnight, but Asia's pulling the other way. Nothing's pulling hard against the tone.
BSE delivery 65.4% on Tue 11 Aug, above its 62% one-month norm but within the usual daily range.
