Hong Kong stocks end with losses
Hong Kong stocks fell on Tuesday as profit-takers moved in after five days of healthy gains, with concerns over China's economic outlook overshadowing optimism over US interest rates. The Hang Seng Index sank 2.1 percent, or 398 points, to close at 19,015, as investors returned after Monday's trading was cancelled because of a severe storm. The Shanghai Composite Index sank 0.4 percent, or 11 points, to 3,197 , while the Shenzhen Composite Index lost 0.3 percent, or 5 points, to 2,042. (AFP)
