Hong Kong stocks finish lower

HONG KONG, April 10, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks dropped Wednesday as
optimism over the China-US trade talks were dented by concerns about a
brewing tariffs row between Washington and the European Union.

The Hang Seng Index eased 0.13 percent, or 37.93 points, to close at
30,119.56.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index edged up 0.07 percent, or 2.27
points, to 3,241.93, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks
on China’s second exchange, dipped 0.21 percent, or 3.73 points, to 1,779.28.
