The Nifty index is trading just around  24,650. The Index is now trading with gains of around 20 points. This comes as the benchmark looks to protect itself from an eighth consecutive trading session of losses.

The Sensex index is also trading with marginal gains of about 100 points, inching above 80,400.  The Nifty Bank is trying to hold strong as it looks to regain 55,000, with a 200-point rise in its overall value.
