Mumbai: Snapping a three-day losing streak, the Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex recovered by over 93 points in opening trade today on the back of a fresh spell of buying by funds as well as retail investors amid a firming trend on other Asian bourses.

However, participants kept their commitments restricted, today being the last session of monthly expiry in the derivatives segment on the NSE.

The 30-share barometer, which has lost nearly 153 points in the previous three sessions, rose by 93.36 points, or 0.48 per cent, to 19,542.05.

The wide-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty also moved up by 22.50 points, or 0.38 per cent, to 5,856.40.
