Today leans constructive — foreign money in, domestic trimming
The read as recorded on this date — the same words and numbers that went to subscribers.
Today leans constructive
US futures higher · Asia higher · rupee stronger
Friday'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 higher overnight, and Asia's following. The thread to watch: whether that buying holds through the session, or domestic trimming caps it.
