Asian markets ended mostly lower on Wednesday, as weaker-than-expected trade figures from the world's second-biggest economy revived concerns about global growth. Japanese shares fell to a more than one-week low as a stronger yen continued to undermine sentiment and pressure exporters. Hong Kong stocks slipped, dragged down by resources and energy shares as a renewed tumble in commodity prices prompted investors to take profits from a recent rally. The overnight sharp slide in oil from recent lows also proved worrisome for investors although they showed some stability in Asian trade.
