(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - Milano, 5 mag - Indian share prices closed lower, retreating as investor confidence was shaken by the latest escalation in the conflict between the US and Iran.

The market's decline, which followed a brief period of optimism, was further compounded by the rupee falling to a record low, prompting a shift toward cautious positioning.

Losses were concentrated in the banking, financial, and metal sectors.

The BSE Sensex fell 0.32% to close at 77,017.79 points, while.

the NSE Nifty shed 0.36% to reach 24,032.80 points.
