Asian markets ended mostly higher on Tuesday, even as Brent crude prices jumped above $86 a barrel - bringing gains for the week to more than 10% after US President Donald Trump reimposed a blockade on Iranian ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz and proposed to impose a 20% fee on all cargo passing through the vital waterway for guarding it. Chinese shares gained after customs data revealed June exports grew by 27% year-on-year and imports jumped by 36%, both drastically beating market expectations. Moreover, Japan's Nikkei rallied on bargain-buying.
