Today leans cautious — tape and GIFT diverge

The read as recorded on this date — the same words and numbers that went to subscribers.

Today leans cautious— US futures firm · Asia weak · crude firming

Yesterday's thread was whether that foreign buying would hold. It held — foreign investors stayed net buyers. The tape's leaning lower but GIFT Nifty points to a gap-up open. US futures are higher overnight, but Asia's pulling the other way. The thread to watch: whether GIFT's lead holds through the session.

BSE delivery ran 84.8% on Wed 2 Sep, above its one-month norm — but excluding the five most-traded stocks it was in line with its own usual level.
