Hong Kong stocks end lower

HONG KONG, Sept 3, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks fell on Monday,
extending losses into a fourth session, as investors fret over renewed trade
tensions with Donald Trump looking at imposing fresh sanctions on $200
billion of Chinese imports this week.

The Hang Seng Index sank 0.63 percent, or 176.01 points, to close at
27,712.54.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index eased 0.17 percent, or 4.52 points,
to 2,720.73 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China’s
second exchange, lost 0.17 percent, or 2.45 points, to 1,448.93.
