FAST MONEY: Whirpool, Radico Khaitan among key buy and sell ideas for today's trade

The benchmark indices are expected to open on a flat to positive note on Thursday after Asian shares found relief as fears about a global trade war amid US President Donald Trump’s push to introduce protectionist tariffs were tempered by signs the move could include carve-outs for key partners. At 8:30 am, SGX Nifty was trading at 10,221, up 42 points or 0.41 per cent.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.2 per cent, led by gains in South Korean shares, which also benefited from signs of easing tensions between the two Koreas. Japan's Nikkei .N225 gained one percent.

On Wall Street, the S&P 500 ended down just 0.05 per cent at 2,726.8 after an initial loss of almost one per cent, with tech shares being a major bright spot.

They erased most losses as White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told a media briefing that the impending hefty US tariffs on steel and aluminum imports could exclude Canada, Mexico and a clutch of other countries.

That soothed worries that the Trump Administration could lean more towards protectionist policies after the departure of his top economic adviser Gary Cohn.

On Wednesday, the benchmark indices hit three-month low, extending losses for the sixth straight session. The Sensex settled at 33,033, down 284.11 points, while the broader Nifty50 ended at 10,154, down 95 points.
