[HONG KONG] Hong Kong stocks closed 1.04 per cent lower on Friday, losing early gains that were driven by advances on Wall Street following stronger-than-expected US economic growth estimates.

The benchmark Hang Seng Index lost 226.15 points to finish at 21,612.39 on turnover of HK$112.88 billion (US$14.55 billion).
