Hong Kong shares end with sharp gains
HONG KONG, Sept 11, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks closed sharply
higher Wednesday, in line with healthy gains across Asia on optimism about
the outlook for next month’s China-US trade talks and following Beijing’s
decision to further open up its financial markets.
The Hang Seng Index rallied 1.78 percent, or 475.38 points, to 27,159.06.
However, the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.41 percent, or
12.39 points, to 3,008.81 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks
stocks on China’s second exchange, slipped 0.93 percent, or 15.77 points, to
1,671.54.
