TOKYO - Asian shares were mostly lower Tuesday after a U.S. holiday and attention turned to the U.S. Federal Reserve.

KEEPING SCORE: Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 lost 1.3 per cent in early trading to 21,863.84. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 edged down 0.4 per cent to 5,920.10.

CENTRAL BANKS: Minutes are expected later Tuesday from the latest Federal Reserve meeting. Investors were also watching remarks in Japanese parliament from Bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda. Kuroda was reappointed recently for another five-year term in a show of confidence in his ultra-easy monetary policy.

THE QUOTE: "The Fed's sequence of interest rate normalization should be the markets key focus this week and the primary drivers of near-term volatility," says Stephen Innes, head of trading at OANDA.
