* It turned out to be an eventful day for market participants, as the benchmark index witnessed sharp swings in both directions before finally ending flat on the weekly expiry day.
* A notable rebound in the latter half helped trim all the losses, and the index eventually settled at 24,596, up 0.09%.
* Going forward, a decisive move above the 24,800 level could pave the way for a further rebound towards the 25,000 mark.
* Amid the prevailing uncertainty, we continue to advise a cautious approach and prefer maintaining hedged positions.
