Hong Kong stocks close lower

HONG KONG, July 26, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks fell Thursday,
reversing early gains as relief at a US and EU agreement to ease trade
tensions was offset by disappointing Wall Street earnings.

The Hang Seng Index fell 0.48 percent, or 139.76 points, to 28,781.14.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.74 percent, or 21.42 points,
to 2,882.23, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on
China’s second exchange, lost 0.92 percent, or 14.99 points, to 1,609.73.
