BENGALURU, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Indian shares are expected to open higher on Wednesday due to a fall in global oil prices, although investors will await domestic retail inflation data and quarterly earnings results from IT firm Wipro later in the day.

India's NSE stock futures, listed on the Singapore exchange , were up 0.19%, as of 0206 GMT, while MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.69%.

Forty-seven of the 50 stocks on the NSE Nifty 50 index closed lower on Tuesday, pulling the benchmark index down 1.49% to 16,983.55, while the 30-member S&P BSE Sensex finished 1.46% lower at 57,147.32, marking their third straight session of loss on the back of risk aversion globally.

Meanwhile, a Reuters poll found India's retail inflation accelerated to a five-month high of 7.30% in September due to surging food prices, staying well above the Reserve Bank of India's upper tolerance band for a ninth month. The data is due after market hours.

Oil prices fell for a third straight session on Wednesday, as investors fretted about a hit to fuel demand from growing risks of a global recession and tightening COVID-19 curbs in China.

India, the world's third-largest importer of oil, benefits from a fall in prices, as it brings down imported inflation.

Foreign institutional investors sold net 46.13 billion Indian rupees ($560.81 million) worth of equities on Tuesday, while domestic investors bought net 24.31 billion rupees, as per provisional data available with the National Stock Exchange.
