Hong Kong stocks end with fresh losses

HONG KONG, Sept 19, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks fell for a fourth
day in a row Thursday after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates but
investors were left guessing about the possibility of more reductions this
year.

The Hang Seng Index slipped 1.07 percent, or 285.17 points, to 26,468.95.

But the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.46 percent, or 13.62
points, to 2,999.28, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks
on China’s second exchange, added 1.03 percent, or 17.02 points, to 1,672.63.
