At 9.30 a.m., the S&P BSE Sensex traded at 56,302 points, up 0.9 per cent.

It opened at 56,320 points from the previous close of 55,822 points.

Till now it touched a low of 56,197 points.

Besides, the broader 50-scrip Nifty at National Stock Exchange (NSE) opened at 16,773 points from the previous close of 16,614 points.
