Nifty 50, Sensex today: What to expect from Indian stock market in trade on June 17

The Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open lower Tuesday, tracking mixed global market cues.
The trends on Gift Nifty also indicate a weak start for the Indian benchmark index. The Gift Nifty was trading around 24,974 level, a discount of nearly 22 points from the Nifty futures' previous close.
On Monday, the domestic equity market ended sharply higher, with the benchmark Nifty 50 closing above the 24,900 level.
The Sensex surged 677.55 points, or 0.84%, to close at 81,796.15, while the Nifty 50 settled 227.90 points, or 0.92%, higher at 24,946.50.
Here's what to expect from Sensex, Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty today:
Nifty Open Interest (OI) on the call side is concentrated at the 25,000 and 25,200 strike prices, suggesting these levels as key resistance zones. On the put side, significant OI build-up is seen at the 24,900 and 24,800 strike prices, highlighting these as important support levels, said Hardik Matalia, Derivative Analyst at Choice Broking.
Nifty 50 witnessed an excellent follow-through upmove action on June 16 and closed the day higher by 227 points.
'A long bull candle was formed on the daily chart that has surpassed the hurdle of the recent opening downside gap area at 24,825 levels. Nifty 50 is placed again into a broader high low range of 24,500 - 25,100 levels and is currently moving up from the lower range towards the upper range area,' said Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.
He believes the underlying trend of Nifty 50 continues to be positive, and after the formation of short-term bottom reversal at 24,473 levels on Friday, Nifty 50 is expected to move towards the next hurdle of 25,100 - 25,200 levels in the next few sessions. Immediate support is placed at 24,800.
Dr. Praveen Dwarakanath, Vice President of Hedged.in said that Nifty 50 covered the gap between 24,900 and 24,700 in yesterday's rally, forming a bullish candle; however, the index continues to trade in the range of 24,500 and 25,200.
'The options writers' data also suggests a range-bound move in the index for now. Nifty 50 index is bouncing from the support at the 24,500 level towards its resistance at the 25,200 level. The stochastics continued to fall even though the index rallied upside, indicating the upside momentum is limited to its resistance level. The ADX DI+ and the ADX DI- lines are moving crisscrossing each other, indicating no clear trend in the index. One can look to sell the index near its resistance and buy near its support until one of these levels is taken off,' said Dwarakanath.
According to VLA Ambala, Co-Founder of Stock Market Today, Nifty 50 formed a bullish Marubozu candlestick pattern at the daily time frame and concluded above last week's closing price.
'This development offered a boost to the market sentiments. For this week, Monday's lower range of 24,600 to 24,700 will be a key range to watch. As long as the price sentiment remains bullish above this range, bulls will try to protect the range. The Nifty index's RSI was at 55 at the daily time frame, which indicated a moderate buying range for traders and investors. While the broader trend remains bullish, any dips in this range could present buying opportunities,' Ambala said.
Reviewing these aspects, Ambala expects Nifty 50 to gather support between 24,900 and 24,750 and meet resistance near 25,180 and 25,250.
Bank Nifty index gained 417.55 points, or 0.75%, to close at 55,944.90 on Monday, snapping its four consecutive sessions of losses.
'Bank Nifty formed a bull candle with a higher high and higher low and in the process filled its Friday's gap down area and 20 days EMA. In the coming session a move above 56,000 levels will open further upside towards 56,600 and 57,000 levels. Failure to do so will lead to consolidation in the range of 56,000 - 55,000 amid stock specific action,' Bajaj Broking Research said.
On the downside only a breach below 55,000 levels will open downside towards the key support area of 54,500 - 55,000 in the coming sessions, the brokerage firm added.
Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities noted that the Bank Nifty index formed a bullish candle on the daily chart, rebounding from the recent swing low of 55,149.30.
'Bank Nifty index has reclaimed the 20-day SMA and closed above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at 55,840, drawn from the recent high to the low. The index is currently hovering just below the 56,100 mark, which coincides with the 50% retracement level, a key resistance zone in the short term. Sustained strength above this zone could open the door toward 56,640, the 78.6% retracement level,' Mehra said.
On the downside, the 20-day EMA and the 23.6% retracement at 55,475 now serve as immediate support levels. The RSI has recovered to 55, from the lower levels. However, the MACD remains in negative territory with a slight narrowing of the histogram, he added.
'Overall, a decisive close above 56,200 would strengthen bullish sentiment, while any dip towards 55,800 – 55,720 could offer a favourable buy-on-dip opportunity,' Mehra said.

World's biggest banks increased fossil fuel financing by $162 billion in 2024: Report

The world's largest 65 banks committed $869 billion in 2024 to companies in the fossil fuels sector, up from $707 billion in 2023, with State Bank of India (SBI) one of nearly 50 large banks that increased their financing for the same compared to the previous year. 'This growth in fossil fuel finance is troubling because new fossil fuel infrastructure locks in more decades of fossil fuel dependence. As the IEA's (International Energy Agency) 2024 Energy Investment Outlook report states, '(a)chieving net zero emissions globally by 2050 would mean annual investment in oil, gas, and coal falls by more than half' by 2030,' said the Fossil Fuel Finance Report 2025 by a group of eight environment organisations together called Banking on Climate Chaos Coalition. To be sure, SBI accounted for only a fraction of the total fossil fuel financing in 2024 and only saw a small increase last year compared to other lenders. As per the report, SBI was the only Indian bank in the top 65 with a $65 million increase in fossil fuel financing in 2024 from 2023 to $2.62 billion, putting it at the 47th spot out of the 65 banks, up from 49 in 2023. In comparison, JPMorgan Chase retained its top spot in the list as it gave $53.5 billion to fossil fuel companies last year, $15 billion more than it did in 2023. This is more than SBI's total fossil fuel financing of $10.6 billion from 2021 to 2024. Earlier this year in February, SBI Chairman CS Setty said the bank is targeting to be net zero in terms of emissions by 2055. Before that, the bank is aiming to have at least 7.5 per cent of its domestic gross advances to be green advances by 2030. As at the end of the quarter ended March, SBI's domestic advances stood at Rs 36.02 lakh crore. It had sanctioned a combined fund and non-fund-based limit of Rs 20,558 crore for sustainable finance activities. According to Bengaluru-based think-tank Climate Risk Horizons, coal financing is a 'huge blind spot' for Indian banks. 'Among the top 1000 BSE-listed banks as of March 2024, only Federal Bank and RBL Bank have adopted explicit coal exclusion or phase-out policies… The economics are clear: coal is no longer the cheap energy source it once was. Renewable energy and storage can now provide electricity at or below the cost of coal, with continued cost declines likely,' the think-tank's analysts said in a post in March 2025 warning that Indian banks were falling behind in the sustainable finance race. The report found that fossil fuel financing by the world's largest banks rose in 2024 after declining in 2023 came amid watering down of exclusion policies and policy rollbacks. '…what was once largely a North American trend is now going global. European banks –often seen as more progressive on climate due to the quality of their sector policies – also began backtracking,' it said. In March, American lender Wells Fargo scrapped plans to become net zero by 2050, weeks after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order announcing the country's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. The US' withdrawal — which will take effect in early 2026 and see the world's largest economy join Iran, Libya, and Yemen as those not party to the Paris Agreement — has been part of a series of steps taken by the Trump administration to promote fossil fuels even in the face of 2024 being the hottest year ever recorded. In January, the US Treasury Department withdrew its membership of the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System —a voluntary global coalition that looks to mobilise green finance and develop recommendations for climate-risk management in the financial sector — as part of the aforementioned executive order signed by Trump. And ahead of Trump's inauguration, the US' six largest banks left the UN-sponsored Net Zero Banking Alliance. A committee of the US Senate also approved draft legislation this week that would hit key tax incentives for clean energy. The increase in fossil fuel financing by banks in 2024 marked a reversal of decreasing lending to the segment. While nearly $3.3 trillion has been made available to fossil fuel businesses since 2021, the 65 banks in the 2025 report have committed $7.9 trillion in fossil fuel financing since the Paris Agreement came into force in 2016. In 2024, financing for acquisitions increased by $19.2 billion to $82.9 billion. While mergers and acquisitions don't directly create new infrastructure, 'this consolidation — for which bank financing is critical — is often an attempt to grow the power and competitiveness of fossil fuel companies, at a time when the world actually needs to phase out fossil fuels', the report said.
