Japan's Nikkei slipped 0.5 per cent as investors locked in profits after two straight days of big gains following the Bank of Japan's decision to introduce negative interest rates late last week.

US crude oil was down about 1.8 per cent at US$31.06 a barrel after skidding as much as 7 per cent overnight, pressured by weak economic data from China, a US forecast for mild weather and doubts that suppliers would be able to agree on steps to address the global supply glut.
