The BSE benchmark Sensex recovered by over 100 points and the NSE Nifty reclaimed the 11,300-mark in opening trade Wednesday following fresh purchases made by domestic investors ahead of key macroeconomic data to be released later in the day.


However, a weakening trend on other Asian bourses on worries over lingering trade conflict between the US and China forced investors to adopt a cautious approach.


The 30-share Sensex was up 133.29 points, or 0.35 per cent, at 37,546.42 with sectoral indices led by FMCG, power, IT, teck, infrastructure and PSU stocks trading in the positive zone.


The gauge had plunged 976.69 points in the previous two sessions as global trade war tensions rattled investor sentiment. Also, the NSE Nifty was trading higher by 52.60 points, or 0.46 per cent, at 11,340.10. -- PTI
