Hong Kong: Stocks end higher, Shanghai extends losses

HONG KONG stocks edged slightly higher on Tuesday (Apr 26) after the previous day's big losses, though mainland Chinese markets fell further as investors fret over a Covid flare-up that has led to lockdowns in the country's major cities.

The Hang Seng Index added 0.33 per cent, or 65.37points, to 19,934.71.

The Shanghai Composite Index fell 1.44 per cent, or 42.09 points, to 2,886.43, while the Shenzhen Composite Index on China's second exchange sank 2.11 per cent, or 37.75 points, to 1,752.28. AFP
