Hong Kong, Shanghai shares start week with losses

HONG KONG, June 25, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong and mainland Chinese stocks
fell on Monday as concerns about a trade war overshadowed easing measures by
the People’s Bank of China, while an early rally in energy firms faded.

The Hang Seng Index slipped 1.29 percent, or 377.31 points, to close at
28,961.39.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gave up 1.05 percent, or 30.42
points, to 2,859.34 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on
China’s second exchange, lost 0.63 percent, or 10.08 points, to 1,587.31.
