BENGALURU, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Indian shares were unchanged
in early trade on Tuesday, after closing at record highs for
three straight sessions, as weaker technology and financial
stocks negated gains in metal and consumer products.
    The blue-chip NSE Nifty 50 index  .NSEI  was down 0.08% at
17,364.35 by 0359 GMT and the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex  .BSESN 
fell 0.1% to 58,236.83.  
    Asian Paints Ltd  ASPN.NS  and JSW Steel Ltd  JSTL.NS  were
among the top performers on the Nifty 50, gaining more than 1%
each. Wipro Ltd  WIPR.NS  and State Bank of India  SBI.NS  were
among top losers on the index, shedding nearly 0.60%.
