Today leans cautious — foreign money out, domestic catching it

The read as recorded on this date — the same words and numbers that went to subscribers.

Today leans cautious

US futures lower · Asia lower · rupee weaker
Yesterday's thread was whether that foreign buying would hold. It reversed — foreign investors turned 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.

BSE delivery 62.2% on Thu 22 Oct — in line with its 64% one-month norm.
