Hong Kong stocks end week with big loss

HONG KONG, Nov 29, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks ended Friday sharply
lower, with investors still on edge after Donald Trump passed a law backing
the city’s protests, sparking anger in China and fuelling concerns about
ongoing trade talks.

The Hang Seng index sank 2.03 percent, or 547.24 points, to 26,346.49.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.61 percent, or 17.71 points,
to 2,871.98 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China’s
second exchange, fell 0.30 percent, or 4.75 points, to 1,593.10.
