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.
Foreign investors have been net sellers for the 5th session running.
BSE delivery ran 78.5% on Thu 8 Oct, above its one-month norm — but excluding the five most-traded stocks it was in line with its own usual level.
