The sunset glow is seen over buildings and a ferris wheel on May 13, 2022 in Beijing, China. Asia-Pacific markets largely fell as investors look ahead to China's inflation figures and trade balance later this week. China will release its trade balance for Tuesday and inflation data on Wednesday, which will give clues on the country's recovery trajectory. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index climbed marginally, but mainland Chinese markets were also all in negative territory. South Korea's Kospi was down 0.85% to close at 2,580.7, marking its fourth straight day of losses, while the Kosdaq saw a larger loss and tumbled 2.2% to end at 898.22.
