HK stocks open lower, track overnight losses in US
Hong Kong shares opened lower on Wednesday, extending the previous day's losses following a sell-off on Wall Street fuelled by a surge in oil prices that revived inflation worries. The Hang Seng Index dipped 0.3 percent to 18,405. The Shanghai Composite Index shed 0.2 percent to 3,147, while the Shenzhen Composite Index eased 0.4 percent to 1,963. (AFP)
