Hong Kong stocks finish higher
HONG KONG, Dec 18, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks ended with small
gains on Wednesday following a record lead from Wall Street but the advance
was tempered by profit-taking following the recent trade pact-fuelled rally.
The Hang Seng index added 0.15 percent, or 40.50 points, to 27,884.21.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.18 percent, or 5.38 points,
to 3,017.04 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China’s
second exchange, was barely moved, inching up 0.66 points to 1,709.44.
