The benchmark BSE Sensex recovered over 455 points to cross 26,000 level in early trade, while NSE Nifty crossed the 7,900 mark on short covering by participants on expiry of derivatives contracts and strong global cues.
The 30-share barometer spurted by 455.73 points, or 1.77%, to 26,170.39. On Wednesday, it had lost 317.72 points.
Besides, value-buying in realty, healthcare, auto, metal, banking, PSUs capital goods and oil and gas stocks positively impacted trading sentiment.
The NSE Nifty regained the 7,900-mark by surging 138.95 points, or 1.78%, to 7,930.80 in early trade.
Brokers said short covering by participants, with Thusday being the last trading session of August contracts in the derivatives space supported the market.
A firming trend at other Asian bourses also boosted the bounce back on Sensex. Asian markets gained strength following overnight gains in the US markets after hints that the US Federal Reserve will not raise interest rates next month.
At 1004 hours, BSE Sensex was trading at 26,015.56, up 300.90 points or 1.17% from previous day's close.
