FAST MONEY: SBI, HDFC among top 20 intraday trading ideas for today

The Sensex and Nifty may hit their record highs in Wednesday's trade tracking positive trend in Asian markets, which rode higher thanks to strong US corporate earnings and hopes China will boost fiscal support for its economy. At 7:50 am, SGX Nifty was trading at 11,149, up 6.50 points or 0.06 per cent.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan gained 0.17 per cent. The index extended gains from the previous day, when it was lifted after China said it will adopt a more vigorous fiscal policy to help tackle external uncertainties.

Australian stocks dipped 0.1 per cent, South Korea's KOSPI advanced 0.35 percent and Japan's Nikkei rose 0.5 per cent. Overnight on Wall Street, the S&P 500 closed at its highest level since Feb. 1 as Alphabet's blowout results bolstered expectations of a robust earnings season.
