Breaking a three-day gaining streak, key Indian equity indices closed on a lower note on Wednesday as investors booked profits ahead of the release of important macro-data as well as quarterly earnings results of corporates, according to market observers.

The rupee traded a shade lower at 65.15 against the dollar due to mild demand for the greenback from importers and banks despite the latter's weakness overseas.
The US Fed minutes signalled rate hike eventuality despite low inflation levels.
The rupee resumed marginally higher at 65.13 as against yesterday's closing level of 65.14. It later slipped to 65.15 at 1020 hours.
