Today looks mixed — foreign money out, domestic catching it
The read as recorded on this date — the same words and numbers that went to subscribers.
Today looks mixed
US futures higher · Asia lower
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, but Asia's pulling the other way. The thread to watch: whether that selling carries into the session, or domestic money holds the tape up alone.
BSE delivery 59.7% on Tue 15 Sep, below its 65% one-month norm but within the usual daily range.
