Asia-Pacific shares fell on Tuesday to end a six-day rally. Oil prices stayed close to record levels and financial and property shares tumbled as profits at Macquarie, the Australian investment bank, fell short of analysts’ estimates and Credit Suisse downgraded Japanese developers.

The mood was further soured by Citigroup cutting its forecast for profits at Goldman Sachs and other big US brokers as a result of lower fees from trading and underwriting share issues this year.
