HONG KONG, Jan 14, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks sank Monday on
profit-taking following a six-day rally, while investors were also left
disappointed by below par Chinese trade figures.

The Hang Seng Index lost 1.38 percent, or 368.94 points, to end at
26,298.33.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.71 percent, or 18.07 points,
to close at 2,535.77, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks
on China’s second exchange, shed 0.73 percent, or 9.61 points, to 1,303.75.
