Asian markets end mostly higher on Friday

12 Apr 2019 Evaluate

Asian markets ended mostly higher on Friday as positive US data and optimism over a potential US-China trade deal helped offset growth worries to some extent. Japanese shares settled at four-month high as investors braced for earnings and an upcoming 10-day holiday in Japan. Meanwhile, Chinese shares ended flat, as better-than-expected exports brought some relief to investors looking for signs of stabilization in the world’s second-largest economy. Chinese trade data proved to be a mixed bag, with exports rebounding to a five-month high while imports fell more than expected. Official data showed that China's exports rose 14.2 percent in March from a year earlier, beating expectations and marking the strongest growth in five months. Imports dropped an annual 7.6 percent, worse than forecasts for a 1.3 percent fall and widening from February's 5.2 percent fall.
