[HONG KONG] Hong Kong shares suffered their first losses Tuesday after six days of gains as profit-takers moved in, but energy firms rose on the back of further advances in oil prices.

The Hang Seng eased 0.14 per cent, or 35.65 points, to 25,335.94.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.74 per cent, or 22.73 points, to 3,112.96 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, jumped 2.09 per cent, or 38.25 points, to 1,865.27.
