Indian shares are likely to start Friday's session on a mildly positive note amid weakness across most global markets, as investors turned cautious ahead of a long-awaited speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. At 8:41 am, Nifty50 futures on the Singapore Exchange — an early indicator of India's NSE Nifty50 index — were up 12.5 points or 0.07 percent at 16,680.50.

Equities in other Asian markets were mixed as slight gains in China were balanced by declines elsewhere. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.1 percent, while Japan's Nikkei 225 index declined 0.46 percent.
