[HONG KONG] Hong Kong stocks ended a nine-day winning streak Friday, finally finishing in negative territory on profit-taking, with a tepid lead from Wall Street and uncertainty over the future of Donald Trump's economic agenda also weighing.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.21 per cent, or 6.88 points, to 3,237.98 while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, shed 0.12 per cent, or 2.16 points, to 1,845.81.
