After yesterday's fall, the benchmark BSE Sensex recovered over 35 points in early trade on Wednesday on emergence of buying by funds and retail investors amid mixed cues from other Asian markets.

The 30-share index, which had retreated from one-week highs by falling 159.54 points in the previous session, rose by 35.03 points, or 0.12%, to 27,460.76, with stocks of IT, auto, teck and PSU sectors leading the recovery.

On similar lines, the National Stock Exchange index Nifty moved up by 15.15 points, or 0.18%, to 8,314.55. Brokers said selective buying by funds amid a mixed trend in other Asian markets influenced the sentiments here.

The US Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.15% lower in yesterday's trade.
