Hong Kong shares end lower
HONG KONG, July 19, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks closed lower

despite the US Federal Reserve chief’s upbeat assessment of the economy.
The Hang Seng Index fell 0.38 percent, or 106.56 points, to 28,010.86.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index closed 0.53 percent lower, or 14.71
points, to end at 2,772.55 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks
stocks on China’s second exchange, lost 0.79 percent, or 12.54 points, to
1,575.58.
