Sensex, Nifty open lower as Brent crude hovers near $115

Indian shares opened lower on Tuesday, giving back some of Monday's gains, as Brent crude stayed near $115 a barrel and investors turned cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve's policy decision. The Nifty 50 fell 0.2% to 22,708.8 and the Sensex slipped 0.17% to 73,484.38 in early trade. Higher oil prices can raise inflation and strain India's fiscal deficit.
