FAST MONEY: Bharti Airtel, Tata Motors among top 10 intraday trading tips

Sensex today: The benchmark indices are expected to open lower tracking negative trend in Asian markets, which stepped back as financial markets turned their attention to the looming U.S. payrolls data for fresh catalysts. Back home, investors will keep an eye on GST Council meeting later today. The Council may simplify the process for return filing, and is expected to levy 5 per cent cess on sugar.  

Overseas, investors were cautious after a largely weak performance on Wall Street overnight as some disappointing earnings reports offset strong economic data, while bond yields slid after a surprising slowdown in euro zone inflation.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 0.26 percent, while the dollar dropped 0.2 percent against the yen to 108.98.

Indonesian stocks led the declines, falling as much as 1.5 per cent in early trading before recouping some of those losses. Australian shares fell after a Reserve Bank of Australia statement that signaled the central bank sees faster economic growth this year and next but doubts inflation will reach the mid-point of its target band until 2020. Japan's Nikkei stock index slid 0.16 per cent.

On Thursday, the Sensex ended at 35,103, down 73.28 points, while the broader Nifty50 closed at 10,679, down 38.40 points. In the broader market, the BSE Midcap slipped over 1 per cent, while the BSE Smallcap dipped 0.8 per cent. 

In terms of investments, provisional data with the exchanges showed that foreign institutional investors sold scrips worth Rs 148.42 crore, and the domestic institutional investors sold stocks worth Rs 578.92 crore.
