Stocks end lower on fag-end selling in blue-chips

Stock market benchmark indices ended lower on Tuesday due to fag-end selling in blue-chip stocks HDFC Bank and Reliance Industries, as concerns rose over the rupee hitting a new record low.

Elevated global crude prices amid geopolitical uncertainties also impacted market sentiment.

Markets pared all intraday gains and ended lower, with the 30-share BSE Sensex declining 114.19 points, or 0.15 per cent, to settle at 75,200.85.
