Asian equity benchmarks are trading lower in the early deals on Friday as early results from Britain's historic European Union referendum suggested a stronger than expected performance by the 'Leave' campaign. The results unnerved investors and sent them rushing to safe-haven assets. Crude oil prices tumbled in Asian trades. Meanwhile, Japanese shares slumped, with the Topix index falling the most in five years, as results from the UK referendum on European Union membership pointed toward a vote to leave. The safe-haven yen strengthened against the US dollar and weighed on exporters' shares.
