Today leans cautious

US futures soft · Asia weak · crude firming
A quiet tape into the open, but both foreign and domestic money were net buyers overnight. US futures are lower overnight, and Asia's following. The thread to watch: whether that buying holds through the session, or fades.

BSE delivery 62.2% on Tue 1 Sep — in line with its 65% one-month norm.
