Nifty, Sensex end lower; financial stocks drag

Indian shares ended lower on Tuesday as financial stocks such as Housing Development Finance Corp dragged both indexes amid investor caution ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s policy statement this week.

The broader NSE Nifty, which hit a record high earlier in the session, closed down 0.05 percent at 10,147.55.

The benchmark BSE Sensex was 0.07 percent lower at 32,402.37.
