Hong Kong: Stocks start week with loss

HONG Kong shares finished lower on Monday (July 4), as investors returned from a long weekend to play catch-up with last week’s sell-off, with sentiment weighed by recession fears and a flare-up of Covid cases in China.

The Hang Seng Index shed 0.13 per cent, or 29.44 points, to 21,830.35.

The Shanghai Composite Index added 0.53 per cent, or 17.79 points, to 3,405.43; the Shenzhen Composite Index on China’s second exchange jumped 1.17 per cent, or 25.90 points, to 2,245.31. AFP
