Hong Kong shares end the day flat

HONG KONG, July 23, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks ended Monday flat as
investors sought to shrug off jitters at the prospect of a full-blown trade
and currency war following US President Donald Trump’s swipes at China and
the EU.

The Hang Seng Index added 0.06 percent, or 15.96 points, to 28,240.44.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index rose 1.07 percent, or 30.27 points,
to 2,859.54. The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China’s
second exchange, added 0.53 percent, or 8.39 points, to 1,601.69.
