HONG KONG, June 20, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks edged up in the
first few minutes Wednesday on bargain-buying after the previous day’s sharp
losses but investors remain fearful that China and the US are edging towards
a trade war.
The Hang Seng Index added 0.35 percent, or 104.18 points, to 29,572.33.
But the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.61 percent, or 17.84
points, to 2,889.98, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks
on China’s second exchange, eased 0.62 percent, or 9.85 points, to 1,584.20.
