<\/div>\n

Asian equity markets ended Monday on a mixed note, as better-than-expected trade data from China helped offset renewed concerns over global trade tensions sparked by fresh tariff threats from US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Trump intensified his protectionist stance with a threat to impose 30% tariffs on imports from the European Union and Mexico, escalating concerns around global trade stability. <\/p>\n

Despite this, stronger export data from China and optimism in South Korea helped lift some regional indices.<\/p>\n

China trade data supports sentiment<\/h2>\n

Chinese stocks edged higher after official data showed a notable uptick in overseas shipments. <\/p>\n

The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.27% to close at 3,519.65, buoyed by customs figures showing China\u2019s exports in June increased 5.8% year-on-year in US dollar terms, beating expectations. <\/p>\n

Imports also rose 1.1%, marking the first annual increase this year.<\/p>\n

Exports of rare earth materials surged significantly\u2014up 60.3% year-on-year and 32% month-on-month\u2014a sign that international buyers are stepping up efforts to secure key inputs used in high-tech manufacturing.<\/p>\n

The CSI 300 Index, which tracks large-cap stocks listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen, rose 0.1%.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong equities reverse early losses<\/h2>\n

Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng Index closed 0.3% higher at 24,203.32, rebounding from early-session losses after investors welcomed China’s trade data despite US tariff concerns. <\/p>\n

The Hang Seng Tech Index gained 0.7%, helped by strength in select growth stocks.<\/p>\n

Among notable movers, Li Auto rose 2.6% to HK$111.50, Alibaba Group Holding added 1% to HK$106.10, Zijin Mining Group climbed 2.3% to HK$20.45, and China Shenhua Energy advanced 5.2% to HK$32.60.<\/p>\n

Japan slips on trade uncertainty <\/h2>\n

Japanese markets continued to struggle, weighed down by a combination of trade-related uncertainty and weak domestic economic indicators. <\/p>\n

The Nikkei 225 slipped 0.28% to 39,459.62, marking its third consecutive session of declines. <\/p>\n

The Topix Index ended slightly lower at 2,822.81.<\/p>\n

Investor caution was also driven by soft machinery orders data, which showed a 0.6% month-on-month drop in May, reflecting tepid capital spending ahead of Japan’s upcoming domestic elections.<\/p>\n

Other regional markets<\/h2>\n

In contrast, South Korean equities outperformed, with the Kospi Index rising 0.83% to 3,202.03, its highest close in nearly four years. <\/p>\n

Gains were driven by strength in consumer goods and retail stocks, ahead of the planned distribution of government-led cash handouts intended to boost household spending.<\/p>\n

Indian benchmark indices extended their losing streak to a fourth straight session on July 14, with the Nifty closing below the 25,100 mark.<\/p>\n

The Sensex declined 247.01 points, or 0.30%, to settle at 82,253.46, while the Nifty slipped 67.55 points, or 0.27%, to end the day at 25,082.30. <\/p>\n

Among the top Nifty laggards were Jio Financial, Bajaj Finance, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, and Asian Paints. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, Eternal, Titan Company, IndusInd Bank, ONGC, and SBI Life Insurance led the gainers.<\/p>\n

Australian stocks ended slightly lower, dragged down by weakness in industrials, consumer discretionary, and utility sectors amid concerns about the implications of escalating trade tensions.<\/p>\n

The S&P\/ASX 200 Index slipped 0.11% to 8,570.40, while the All Ordinaries Index closed almost flat at 8,815.30.<\/p>\n
