Mumbai Oct 18: The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensitve Index (Sensex) today opened 10 points in the green at 12,893.03, on the back of strong buying support mainly from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and mutual funds.

Currently the Sensex is up 22.30 points to trade at 12,905.80 due to sustained heavy bull support from local operators in all the sectors except consumer durables and metals.

Major sectoral indices who are trading low on the BSE are Auto 0.42 per cent, IT down by 0.11 per cent and FMCG down by 0.78 per cent.
