HK stocks finish sharply lower
Print Edition
HONG Kong stocks ended yesterday sharply lower, with the benchmark Hang Seng falling back below the 30,000 point mark after the previous session’s breakthrough, as a tumble in mainland stocks soured sentiment.
The Hang Seng index fell 1 percent, to 29,707.94, while the China Enterprises Index lost 1.9 percent, to 11,737.06 points, the lowest level in a month.
Most of the damage was done in the last hour of trading.
Investors took profit in sectors including financials , IT and consumer goods, on a pessimistic mood in China.
The mainland blue-chip index suffered its worst one-day fall in almost 1-1/2 years with a nearly 3 percent slump, as Beijing stepped up its deleveraging campaign.
The top gainer on Hang Seng was WH Group Ltd up 1.69 percent, while the biggest loser was AAC Technologies Holdings Inc which fell 4.24 percent.
The biggest gainers among H-shares were China Minsheng Banking Corp Ltd up 2.41 percent, followed by Great Wall Motor Co Ltd gaining 0.98 percent and China Railway Construction Corp Ltd rising 0.77 percent.
