[HONG KONG] Energy firms dragged Hong Kong and Shanghai stocks lower Thursday following a plunge in oil prices, while another surge in factory gate prices was offset by persistently weak consumer inflation figures.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.74 per cent, or 23.91 points, to 3,216.75 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, decreased 0.73 per cent, or 14.73 points, to 2,009.55.
