Asian markets exhibited mixed trend on Thursday, after Wall Street's overnight fall as a new US-China trade deal provided few concrete details. Meanwhile, heightened tensions in the Middle East also kept investors on edge. US President Donald Trump said that US personnel were being moved out of the Middle East due to heightened security risks in the region. Investors were awaiting US producer price index data for May for direction. Japanese shares declined as a firmer yen weighed on export-related shares. Seoul shares gained, led by big gains in the defense and energy sectors.
