Equities in other Asian markets were largely lower on Monday ahead of a week packed with major quarterly earnings announcements. The dollar hovered near October lows after three weeks of risk-friendly sentiment hurt safe-haven currencies. MSCI's broadest index of Asia Pacific shares outside Japan was last seen trading 0.2 percent lower.

Japan's Nikkei 225 index was down one percent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was down 0.3 percent and China's Shanghai Composite down 0.1 percent. Singapore's Straits Times was flat and South Korea's KOSPI index was up 0.1 percent.

S&P 500 E-Mini futures were down 0.1 percent in early Asian trade, hinting at a sluggish start in the US on Monday.

On Friday, Wall Street ended a volatile session on a mixed note, after comments on stimulus tapering from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell spooked markets trading at record levels. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indices declined 0.1 percent and 0.8 percent respectively, whereas the Dow Jones rose 0.2 percent.
