Sensex falls for second day on U.S.-China trade war fears

Reuters 

(Reuters) - Indian shares fell for a second straight session on Tuesday, as fears of a global trade war intensified after U.S. threatened to impose a 10 percent on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods.

The broader NSE Nifty ended 0.83 percent lower at 10,710.45, while the benchmark BSE Sensex closed 0.74 percent lower at 35,286.74.

edged lower after the country's third largest lender said would go on leave until the completion of a probe over an alleged conflict of interest.
