Hong Kong stocks drop after three-day surge
Hong Kong shares finished with a big loss on Friday as profit-takers moved in after a three-day rally that saw the index pile on more than eight percent in reaction to Beijing's pledges to boost the country's battered economy. The Hang Seng Index fell 1.6 percent, or 259 points, to 15,952. The Shanghai Composite Index added 0.1 percent, or 4 points, at 2,910, and the Shenzhen Composite Index lost 0.7 percent, or 11 points, to 1,678. (AFP)
