Indian shares fell for a sixth straight week. The Nifty slipped 0.2% to 23,346.40 and the Sensex 0.6% to 74,294.96. Crude oil eased to about $96 a barrel, yet Tata Group worries and money moving into two big initial public offerings (IPOs) kept buyers away. If you invest or sell consumer goods, expect cautious spending. Review your holdings calmly.
