Today leans cautious

US futures lower · Asia lower · crude higher
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 lower overnight, and Asia's following. The thread to watch: whether that selling carries into the session, or domestic money holds the tape up alone.

Domestic institutions have been net buyers for the 11th session running.

BSE delivery 61.3% on Mon 28 Sep — in line with its 64% one-month norm.

Sector read

Refiners lagged yesterday — and crude is firmer this morning. Higher crude lifts input costs for refiners and paint-makers.
