MUMBAI: Stock market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty rebounded in early trade on Monday driven by value-buying in blue-chip firms, after facing massive drubbing on the Budget day. The 30-share BSE Sensex climbed 302 points to 81,024.94 during initial trade. On Sunday, the BSE benchmark ended at 80,722.94, down 1,546.84 points or 1.88 per cent. Japan's Nikkei 225 index, Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index were also trading lower. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, tanked 4.14 per cent to USD 66.45 per barrel.
