FAST MONEY: Tata Steel, Wipro among top ten key intraday trading ideas

Sensex today: The benchmark indices are expected to witness a gap-up opening on Thursday after Asian markets bounced from two-month lows as world equities recovered from a selloff triggered by escalating Sino-US trade tensions, with investors hoping a full-blown trade war between the world’s two biggest economies can be averted. At 8:25 am, SGX Nifty was trading at 10,289.50, up 159.50 points or 1.57 per cent.

Back home, focus shifts to RBI monetary policy review whose six-member Monetary Policy Committee will announce the RBI verdict on interest rates later in the day. RBI is expected to maintain a status quo in this review for the third time in a row.

Currently, repo rate - the short term lending rate at which RBI lends to banks - stands at 6 per cent. Consequently, the reverse repo rate is 5.75 per cent and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the bank rate stand at 6.25 per cent.

Overseas, Sentiment was lifted as the United States expressed willingness to negotiate a resolution to the trade fight after the proposed US tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese goods prompted a quick response from Beijing that it would retaliate by targeting key American imports.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.2 per cent, a day after it hit its lowest level in almost two month. Japan's Nikkei gained 1.2 per cent. Markets in mainland China, and those in Hong Kong and Taiwan, are closed on Thursday.

Overnight On Wall Street, the S&P 500 gained 1.16 per cent and the Nasdaq Composite added 1.45 per cent, clawing back heavy losses of more than 1.5 per cent right from earlier in the US session.

On Wednesday, The Sensex ended at 33,019, down 351.56 points, while the broader Nifty50 closed at 10,120, down 124.80 points.
