Stock market indexes in Japan declined for the third consecutive session in a row after initial enthusiasm about the recent trade deals waned.
The Nikkei 225 Stock Average and the Topix fell about 1% as investors awaited financial results from leading corporations this week.
Investors are looking forward to results from Tokyo Electron, Advantest Corp., Keyence, Nintendo, ANA Holdings, Mitsui & Company, and Toyota Motor.
The Bank of Japan is widely anticipated to hold its short-term interest rates steady at the end of a two-day meeting on July 31.
Investors are factoring in at least two rate increases totaling 30 basis points before the end of 2025.
