Hong Kong stocks open down

HONG KONG, Oct 5, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks kicked off Friday with
further losses, having already fallen more than four percent this week, with
traders growing increasingly worried about an extended period of US interest
rate hikes.

The Hang Seng Index slipped 0.45 percent, or 120.12 points, to 26,503.75.

Mainland Chinese markets remained closed for a public holiday.
