* After a flat start, the Nifty oscillated within a narrow band throughout the session and finally settled at 24,855.05.
* On the index front, the 25,000–25,100 zone is expected to act as a resistance and may attract fresh selling if the market attempts a rebound, while support is seen around the 24,450–24,550 zone.
