Today leans cautious

US futures lower · Asia mixed
Yesterday's thread was whether that foreign buying would hold. It held — foreign investors stayed net buyers. Foreign money came back in while domestic funds trimmed. US futures are lower 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 63.0% on Tue 3 Nov — in line with its 63% one-month norm.
