HONG KONG, Sept 12, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks ended with slight
losses on Thursday as profit-taking from a recent rally offset hopes for the
China-US trade war after the two sides said they would delay some tariffs
ahead of next month’s talks.
The Hang Seng Index dropped 0.26 percent, or 71.43 points, to 27,087.63.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index added 0.75 percent, or 22.43
points, to 3,031.24 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on
China’s second exchange, rose 0.58 percent, or 9.69 points, to 1,681.23.
