BSE Sensex resilient, climbs 82 points in early trade

Market showed signs of resilience as the Sensex rose by over 82 points to 26,485.28 after value-buying by investors offset concerns from UK's shock exit
from the European Union. 

Besides, short-covering ahead of June derivatives expiry on Thursday gave the upside some traction. 

The 30-share barometer advanced by 82.32 points or 0.31% to 26,485.28 in early trade. The index had ended flat by rising 5 points in the previous volatile session. 

Sectoral indices led by capital goods, oil and gas, PSU, power, realty, healthcare and banking saw a lot of action, gaining up to 0.86%. 

The NSE Nifty too regained the 8,100-mark by rising 29.20 points, or 0.36%, to 8,123.90 in early trade. 

Brokers said value-buying in select blue-chips may have helped, but the sell-off in other Asian and European markets capped the losses. 

Hong Kong's Hang Seng was down 0.71% while Shanghai Composite was quoting 0.20% lower in early session today. Japan's Nikkei fell 0.33%. 

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 1.50% lower on Monday.
