Indian shares fall for 7th day on crude oil concerns

Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty closed lower for a seventh consecutive session on Wednesday, dragged by elevated crude oil prices and global market weakness. The Sensex dropped 326 points to 76,909.68, while the Nifty fell 76.60 points to 24,078.30. Investors remained cautious ahead of US Fed minutes and the expiry of the US-Iran ceasefire.
