The rupee closed a touch lower on Tuesday as jitters ahead of the US Federal Reserve policy outcome meant a volatile trading session.
That was reflected in domestic bourses, too, with the Sensex snapping a five-day winning run and sinking over 700 points as investors' focus shifted towards the upcoming US Federal Reserve meeting.
