Today looks mixed — foreign money in, domestic trimming
The read as recorded on this date — the same words and numbers that went to subscribers.
Today looks mixed
US futures flat · Asia mixed · volatility elevated
Yesterday's thread was whether that foreign selling would carry through. It flipped — foreign investors came back as net buyers. Foreign money came back in while domestic funds trimmed. US futures are steady overnight, and Asia's mixed this morning. The thread to watch: whether that buying holds through the session, or domestic trimming caps it.
BSE delivery 66.1% on Tue 27 Oct — in line with its 64% one-month norm.
