The local share market has fallen for a second day ahead of a bevy of central bank meetings and following the release of dovish minutes from Australia's Reserve Bank.

The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index on Tuesday dropped 33.8 points, or 0.47 per cent, to 7,196.6, while the All Ordinaries fell 33.1 points, or 0.45 per cent, to 7,395.0.
