Hong Kong stocks flat in opening trade

HONG KONG, March 27, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks opened barely moved
on Wednesday morning as a healthy lead from Wall Street and a rally on energy
firms was offset by ongoing concerns about the global economy.

The Hang Seng Index inched down 2.20 points to 28,564.71.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.51 percent, or 15.16 points,
to 3,012.26 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China’s
second exchange, added 0.64 percent, or 10.57 points, to 1,650.51.
