Hong Kong stocks finish on the up
HONG KONG, Oct 17, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong shares finished on a positive
note Thursday as more weak US data raised hopes for another interest rate cut
by the Federal Reserve.
The Hang Seng Index rose 0.69 percent, or 184.21 points, to 26,848.49.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index edged down 0.05 percent, or 1.38
points, to 2,977.33, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks
on China’s second exchange, was barely changed, inching up 0.27 points to
1,635.92.
