Chinese markets too gave up earlier gains to end on a flat note as traders digested mixed trade data. Chinese exports climbed an annual 6.9 percent in dollar terms, while the Imports surged 17.2 percent from a year ago to beat estimates, leaving a trade surplus of $38.2 billion for the month. Japanese market ended lower as escalating tensions between OPEC members Saudi Arabia and Iran helped spur demand for yen.
