Asian Stocks Mixed as Wall Street Nears Bull Market

Asian shares were mixed as China reported a decline in exports and imports, indicating a slowing of its economic recovery. Meanwhile, Wall Street had a day of listless trading, with the S&P 500 rising 0.2% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edging up by less than 0.1%.
