Today leans cautious — foreign money out, domestic catching it

Today leans cautious
US futures lower · Asia lower
Yesterday's thread was whether that elevated volatility reading would ease. It did — India VIX is back to 15.12 this morning. 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 61.8% on Thu 29 Oct — in line with its 64% one-month norm.
