The benchmark Sensex reclaimed the 23,000-mark as it rebounded by over 251 points in early trade today, spurred by buying by funds and retail investors ahead of release of the Economic Survey later in the day.

The beginning of the March series in derivatives contracts and positive global cues kept mood upbeat.

The 30-share index recaptured the crucial 23,000-mark by surging 251.91 points, or 1.09 per cent, to 23,227.91, with all sectoral indices led by capital goods, auto and power trading in the green and rising by up to 1.76 per cent.

The gauge had lost 813 points in the previous three sessions.
