Hong Kong stocks close with small losses

HONG KONG, July 4, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks finished slightly
lower on Thursday as cautious traders ignored a record-breaking lead from
Wall Street, with attention now on the release of US jobs data.

The Hang Seng Index eased 0.21 percent, or 59.37 points, to 28,795.77.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gave up 0.33 percent, or 10.01
points, to 3,005.25, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks
on China’s second exchange, dropped 0.55 percent, or 8.78 points, to
1,591.24.
