Hong Kong shares end higher

HONG KONG, June 28, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks ended Thursday with
gains as traders picked up bargains following three days of losses, with
energy firms lifted by a surge in oil prices but confidence still shaky owing
to China-US trade tensions.

The Hang Seng Index rose 0.50 percent, or 141.06 points, to close at
28,497.32.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index retreated 0.93 percent, or 26.28
points, to 2,786.90 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on
China’s second exchange, dropped 1.19 percent, or 18.75 points, to 1,556.82.
