Hong Kong stocks close lower, Shanghai up
Hong Kong stocks broke a three-day winning streak to close lower on Monday after the Chinese central bank left a key rate unchanged, a move seen as protecting the yuan. The Hang Seng Index lost 1.1 percent, or 184 points, to end at 16,155. The Shanghai Composite Index rose 1.6 percent, or 44 points, to 2,910, and the Shenzhen Composite Index added 1.7 percent, or 26 points, to 1,604. (AFP)
