NSE Nifty reclaims the psychological 9,200-mark and BSE benchmark Sensex soared about 267 points in early trade today, triggered by across-the-board buying amid mixed overseas cues.
Investors appeared optimistic ahead of quarterly earnings of some key companies, including IT major TCS which is scheduled to release its results later in the day.
The 30-share index was trading higher by 266.97 points or 0.90 percent, to 29,680.63 with all the sectoral indices led by metal, oil & gas and capital goods leading the recovery.
The gauge had lost 374.69 points in the previous three sessions largely on weak global cues on rising geopolitical concerns.
