Hong Kong shares end with a loss

HONG KONG, Nov 29, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks sank on Thursday,
reversing early gains, as profit-takers moved in towards the end of a strong
month while attention turns to Donald Trump’s crunch trade talks with Xi
Jinping at the weekend.

The Hang Seng Index shed 0.87 percent, or 231.53 points, to 26,451.03.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index fell 1.32 percent, or 34.29 points,
to 2,567.44 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China’s
second exchange, lost 2.12 percent, or 29.95 points, to end at 1,325.43.
