Indian shares are likely to start Wednesday's session on a positive note despite weakness across other Asian markets. At 8:55 am, Nifty50 futures on the Singapore Exchange — an early indicator of India's NSE Nifty50 index — were up 35.5 points or 0.20 percent at 17,414.50.

Asian shares retreated from six-week highs on Wednesday, as a more risk-averse mood spread into the market from the US overnight due to worries about slowing growth that hurt equities while helping the dollar firm. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.26 percent in early trade, having posted gains for 11 of the last 12 sessions. Japan's Nikkei 225 benchmark reversed early losses to trade 0.83 percent higher after revised GDP growth figures beat expectations for the world's third-biggest economy.

Overnight on Wall Street, the tech stocks-heavy Nasdaq Composite index eked out a gain to a record high, but the other two main indices suffered losses. S&P 500 E-Mini futures were up 0.09 percent in early Asian trade, suggesting a flat start on Wall Street on Wednesday.
