The mining sector came under pressure after reports in South Africa that the government could impose windfall taxes on the sector.
Anglo American, Xstrata and Kazakhmys spearheaded the major fallers amongst the miners.
Automobiles & Parts bounced back from Monday's losses. The rise comes despite bad news from major manufacturer Volkswagen. Around 800,000 Volkswagen vehicles have been recalled because of concern about faulty brake lights, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
The banking sector struggled as shares in Barclays, Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered declined. The latter reported earnings broadly in line with average market forecasts.
