Hong Kong stocks end slightly down
HONG KONG, Aug 27, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks fell again on Tuesday,
extending the previous day’s sharp sell-off as an Asia-wide rally on fresh
trade hopes was offset by ongoing worries about the impact of violent
protests in the city.
The Hang Seng Index fell 0.06 percent, or 16.26 points, to 25,664.07.
But the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index added 1.35 percent, or 38.62
points, to 2,902.19, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks
on China’s second exchange, climbed 1.87 percent, or 29.25 points, to
1,595.82.
