Today looks mixed — foreign money out, domestic catching it

Today looks mixed

US futures lower · 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 lower 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.

Foreign investors have been net sellers for the 10th session running.

BSE delivery 62.9% on Thu 15 Oct — in line with its 64% one-month norm.
