The oil and gas sector was lower after an almost 3.5% slide in crude oil prices overnight.

The dollar held firm against most peers on Tuesday — at 136.6 yen, steady after a 1.8% jump the previous day, thanks in part to the services data, while the euro was at $1.0493 having fallen 0.45% the previous day.
