Japan's indexes struggled to advance for the second consecutive session amid geopolitical and U.S. interest rate path uncertainties.
The Nikkei 225 Stock Average increased 0.1%, the Topix declined 0.2%, and the Japanese yen weakened to 147.75 against the U.S. dollar.
Investor sentiment wavered amid a lack of domestic economic news and key earnings reports.
Artificial intelligence-linked stocks remained in focus ahead of earnings results from Nvidia later in the day.
Later in the week, investors are awaiting the release of industrial production, retail sales, and consumer confidence data.
