Benchmark indexes Sensex and Nifty fluctuated before ending marginally lower on Tuesday. The rupee settled 3 paise lower at 83.82 against the dollar.

Asian stocks traded mixed this morning, with Hong Kong markets extending Monday's rally while Japan's Nikkei was down sharply due to rising confusion over BoJ policy outlook.
