Hong Kong shares finish sharply lower
HONG KONG, Sept 16, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong shares fell on Monday
following last week’s healthy gains, while investors were also spooked by
fresh violent protests in the city and data further highlighting weakness in
the Chinese economy.
The Hang Seng Index lost 0.83 percent, or 228.14 points, to 27,124.55.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index was barely moved, inching down 0.49
points to 3,030.75, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks
on China’s second exchange, added 0.23 percent, or 3.86 points, to 1,685.09.
