Hong Kong stocks regain some lost ground at opening
Hong Kong stocks opened with small gains on Thursday following a two-day plunge, as traders brushed off steep losses on Wall Street that came after the Federal Reserve said it was unlikely to cut interest rates next month. The Hang Seng Index edged up 0.24 percent, or 37.79 points, to 15,522.86. The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.54 percent, or 15.12 points, to 2,773.42, and the Shenzhen Composite Index slipped 0.61 percent, or 9.42 points, to 1,535.48. (AFP)
