- Japan's equities are lower today as investors seek to lock in profits after the Nikkei hit new all-time highs on Friday, while the Topix marked a 6-day advance on Friday.

Looking ahead, Japan has the Leading & Coincident Index and Store Sales data releasing later. The Topix is down 0.80%, while the Nikkei 225 is down 0.65%.
- South Korean equities are slightly lower to unchanged. Tech names are the top performers. Representatives from various international financial firms are visiting Korea to explore investment opportunities and discuss corporate governance practices amid the government's Corporate Value-up Program launch, aiming to enhance transparency and attract more overseas investments.
