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.

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.
