Hong Kong shares suffer another steep drop to end week
HONG KONG, Oct 26, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks ended the week with
another sharp loss on Friday, in line with a broad sell-off across Asia as
investors failed to match a rebound on Wall Street owing to geopolitical and
trade worries.
The Hang Seng Index slipped 1.11 percent, or 276.83 points, to 24,717.63.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.19 percent, or 4.95 points,
to 2,598.85.
The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China’s second
exchange, dropped 0.17 percent, or 2.18 points, to 1,290.62.
