The majority of Asian indexes ended mixed on Monday as investors priced in earnings reports while U.S. President Donald Trump's tour of the region went underway.

The dollar index last stood at 94.934 after hitting a peak at 95.015 on Friday.

The greenback held onto gains made in the previous session following Friday's strong data releases in the United States.

Against the Japanese yen, the dollar strengthened at 114.38, above Friday's close of 114.06.

MSCI's broad index of shares in Asia Pacific excluding Japan was down 0.17 percent.

Japan's Nikkei 225 edged up 0.04 percent, which is above the flat line at 22,548.35 after markets re-opened for trade following a long weekend.

Oil stocks advanced while automakers were mixed. Shares of Mazda Motor fell 4.3 percent on a weaker-than-expected quarterly profit and Subaru dropped 2.71 percent after it lowered its full-year operating profit forecast.

Australia's S&P/ASX lost 0.1 percent to 5,953.78, as advances in utilities and information technology stocks were counterbalanced by declines in the heavily-weighted financials sub-index.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index was 0.22 percent lower in afternoon trade. Mainland markets finished above the flat line. The Shanghai Composite climbed 0.52 percent to 3,389.12 while the Shenzhen Composite rose 1.18 percent to 1,999.30.
