Hong Kong stocks sharply down at break

HONG KONG, Aug 31, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks fell Friday morning,
in line with a broad sell-off across Asian markets following a report that
Donald Trump wants to impose fresh tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese imports
early next month.

The Hang Seng Index eased 0.91 percent, or 257.46 points, to 27,906.59 by
the break.
