The Nikkei 225 fell 0.5% to below 41,300 on Monday, while the broader Topix Index slipped 0.15% to 2,948, marking a second consecutive session of losses as investors turned cautious ahead of a busy week for corporate earnings.
Major firms set to report this week include Advantest, Keyence, Tokyo Electron, Nintendo, ANA Holdings, and Japan Airlines. Investors also continued to assess the impact of the US-Japan trade deal on Japan's export-reliant economy and industries.
Meanwhile, attention shifted to upcoming US-China trade talks, set to begin later today in Stockholm, amid hopes for a breakthrough in strained relations. Among the notable laggards were Advantest (-7.6%), Tokyo Electron (-2.4%), Lasertec (-2%), Disco (-1.2%), and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (-1%), as weakness in the tech and industrial sectors dragged on the broader market.
