Asian equity markets closed mostly lower on Monday after the ouster of White House chief strategist Steve Bannon by US President Donald Trump and the start of joint military drills by the US and South Korea today. The dollar edged away from four-month lows against the yen and oil held stable while gold prices were little changed ahead of the US Federal Reserve's annual central banking symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Thursday and Friday. Japanese stocks fell to a fresh 3-1/2-month low as global investors remained cautious amid worries over whether the Trump administration will be able to implement growth boosting measures. However, Chinese shares ended higher after the country's securities regulator said China Unicom's $11.7 billion ownership reform plan hasn't violated rules.
