Japan's Nikkei fell on Monday as chip-related stocks weakened, tracking their U.S. peers's declines on Friday, while trading was thin as investors awaited developments from trade talks expected between the United States and China this week.

"There are hopes that the trade war could be resolved soon, but at the same time, it's too good to be true if the trade tension will be resolved completely before $16 billion on new U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods take effect," said Yutaka Miura, a senior technical analyst at Mizuho Securities.
