Stock indices closed mixed. Mining shares declined due to the weaker-than-expected Chinese trade data. China's trade surplus fell to $3.10 billion in March from $60.60 billion in February, missing expectations for a decline to a surplus of $43.40 billion.

Exports dropped 14.6% in March, while imports slid 12.3%.

Concerns over Greece's debt problems continue to weigh on markets, despite the fact that Greece repaid the International Monetary Fund (IMF) tranche of 448 million euros last week.
