Japan's Nikkei share average inched lower on Wednesday, led by declines in auto and tyre makers, as investors locked in profits ahead of the Bank of Japan's two-day policy meeting this week.
The Nikkei index inched down 0.04% to close at 32,668.34. The broader Topix slipped 0.1% to 2,283.09.
"There were no negative cues to sell stocks. Investors were just cautious ahead of the central bank decision," said Shoichi Arisawa, general manager of the investment research department at IwaiCosmo Securities.
