Hong Kong stocks close in negative territory
Hong Kong stocks ended the week with another loss on lingering worries about Chinese economic recovery following recent weak data, though tech firms provided a little support following healthy earnings from e-commerce giant JD.com. The Hang Seng Index dropped 0.6 percent, or 116 points, to 19,627. The Shanghai Composite Index lost 1.1 percent, or 37 points, to 3,272, while the Shenzhen Composite Index shed 1.1 percent, or 22 points, to 2,010. (AFP)
