Hong Kong: Stocks close down more than 5%

[HONG KONG] Hong Kong stocks plunged more than five per cent on Tuesday, one of the worst performances on a painful day for Asian markets after a record-breaking collapse on Wall Street.

The Hang Seng Index dived 5.12 per cent, or 1,649.80 points, to end at 30,595.42 - its biggest fall since the China-fuelled sell-off in summer 2015.
