Hong Kong stocks slip at open
HONG KONG, July 31, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks opened lower on
Tuesday, following a negative lead from Wall Street as US tech equities
tumbled and amid trepidation ahead of key central bank meetings this week.
In early trading, the Hang Seng Index was down 0.54 percent, or 156.08
points, to 28,577.05. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index edged down 0.07
percent, or 2.15 points, to 2,866.90, while the Shenzhen Composite Index,
which tracks stocks on China’s second exchange, eased 0.17 percent, or 2.74
points, to 1,574.05.
