Recovering smartly from early losses, the Sensex at the Bombay Stock Exchange stood 136 points, or 0.8 percent in positive territory, at 16,352 in afternoon deals, a short while ago. Earlier in the morning, however, the Sensex had opened 93 points, or 0.6 per cent in the negative zone, at 16,123, on continued selling by foreign funds, amid concerns about rising inflation, and negative global cues. The 30-share Sensex has lost lost nearly 700 points in the previous five trading sessions. Other Asian markets in Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong were trading mixed, today, amid worries about a possible Greek exit from the euro zone, despite the region&apos;s finance leaders declaring that they weren&apos;t considering that possibility. The US Dow Jones Industrial Average had lost 1 per cent in yesterday&apos;s trade.
