Hong Kong stocks open slightly lower

HONG KONG, Jan 10, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong dipped soon after opening on
Thursday morning after racking up gains of around five percent over the
previous four sessions that were fuelled by hopes of a breakthrough in the
China-US trade row.

The Hang Seng Index eased 0.27 percent, or 70.54 points, to 26,391.78.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index was barely moved, inching down 0.49
points to 2,543.85, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks
on China’s second exchange, eased 0.07 percent, or 0.86 points, to 1,306.09.
