BSE Sensex seen lower; Wipro in focus

The BSE Sensex is expected to open lower on Friday tracking weak Asian peers, and outsourcer Wipro will be in focus after it reported earnings that were in line with expectations.
Cigarette-to-hotel business ITC and capital goods firm Bharat Heavy Electricals will also be on the radar ahead of their quarter results.
Wipro met estimates with a 10 percent rise in third-quarter profit, driven by improving demand for offshoring services, but still underperformed rivals.
The MSCI's measure of Asian markets other than Japan was down 0.5 percent by 0301 GMT, while Japan's Nikkei was trading 0.9 percent lower.
The Nifty India stock futures in Singapore were down 0.5 percent, indicating a lower open in the domestic market.
On Thursday, the 30-share BSE index rose 0.4 percent to 19,046.54 points.
