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 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 57.3% on Wed 16 Sep, below its one-month norm — but excluding the five most-traded stocks it was in line with its own usual level.
