BENGALURU, June 29 (Reuters) - Indian shares fell on Wednesday after a four-session rally, weighed down by losses across sectors, as worries about high oil prices and inflation returned to the forefront.

The NSE Nifty 50 index (.NSEI) fell 0.79% to 15,724.5, as of 0409 GMT, and the S&P BSE Sensex (.BSESN) slipped 0.81% to 52,748.04. The rupee dropped 0.23% to a record low of 78.96 per dollar.

Dampening sentiment further across Asian equities was overnight data that showed the U.S. consumer confidence index dropped to its lowest since February 2021.

The Nifty Bank index (.NSEBANK) slid 1.4%, while the Nifty FMCG index (.NIFTYFMCG) fell 1.3%.
