Indian equity markets closed lower for the third consecutive session on Wednesday, January 7, as cautious investor sentiment and persistent selling pressure continued to weigh on market performance.

Sectoral trends were mixed during the session. Consumer durables, information technology, and pharmaceutical stocks led the gains, advancing in the range of 0.50% to 1.85% on selective buying interest.
In contrast, auto, oil and gas, realty, and telecom stocks witnessed mild selling pressure. These sectors declined between 0.50% and 0.80% by the end of trade, reflecting continued caution in rate-sensitive and cyclical segments.
