Hong Kong: Stocks end with losses

[HONG KONG] Hong Kong shares finished the week on a negative note on Friday (Feb 11) as global markets were jolted by a forecast-beating jump in US inflation and comments from a Federal Reserve official that fuelled fears of a sharp hike in interest rates.

The Hang Seng Index dipped 0.07 per cent, or 17.69 points, to 24,906.66.

The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.66 per cent, or 22.96 points, to 3,462.95, while the Shenzhen Composite Index on China's second exchange dropped 1.72 per cent, or 39.51 points, to 2,262.96. AFP
