Japan's Nikkei falls for sixth day ahead of US inflation data

Japan's Nikkei share average fell for a sixth straight session on Tuesday as investors exercised caution ahead of the U.S. inflation report and the Federal Reserve's policy decision. The Nikkei ended 0.16% lower at 36,159.16. The index rose as much as 0.9% earlier in the session as investors scooped up cheaper stocks after recent sell-offs.
