(Reuters) - Indian shares pared earlier gains to end lower on Wednesday, as sentiment was cautious following North Korea's missile test, while investors await key macroeconomic data due on Thursday.
The broader NSE Nifty closed down 0.09 percent at 10,361.30, while the benchmark BSE Sensex ended 0.05 percent lower at 33,602.76.
Axis Bank Ltd led losses on both indexes, falling as much as 2.8 percent on the NSE in its biggest intraday percentage loss since Oct. 18.
