Sensex extends losses for second session

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Indian stocks fell for a second straight session on Tuesday, weighed down by weak European markets and as investors churned positions ahead of the expiry of derivatives contracts this week.

The broader Nifty ended 0.22 percent lower, while the benchmark Sensex fell 0.17 percent.

Indian markets will be closed on Wednesday for a public holiday.
