Today leans constructive
US futures firm · Asia mixed
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 higher overnight, and Asia's mixed this morning. The thread to watch: whether that selling carries into the session, or domestic money holds the tape up alone.
BSE delivery ran 69.8% on Thu 13 Aug, above its one-month norm — but excluding the five most-traded stocks it was in line with its own usual level.
