Stock market indexes in Tokyo closed down for the second consecutive session amid caution ahead of the BoJ's rate decisions and corporate earnings.
The Nikkei 225 Stock Average fell 0.9%, and the broader Topix decreased 0.6%, as investors assessed the impact of the latest Japan-U.S. trade deal on the export-reliant industries.
In a busy week of earnings, investors are looking forward to results from Tokyo Electron, Advantest Corp., Keyence, Nintendo, ANA Holdings, Japan Airlines, Toyota Motor, Marubeni, and Mitsui & Company.
However, investors were less than enthusiastic about a deal between the U.S. and China, as negotiators meet in Sweden ahead of the August 12 deadline set by the U.S.
The U.S. president announced a "trade deal" with the European Union that will limit the additional tariffs on goods to 15%, higher than the current rate of about 2.5%.
The Japanese yen traded at 147.85 against the U.S. dollar amid worries about the near-term future of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba after the recent losses in the Upper House elections.
