HK stocks open with losses
Hong Kong stocks fell at the open Tuesday on worries that a surge in oil prices could fan inflation and force the US Federal Reserve to lift interest rates higher than expected. The Hang Seng Index dipped 0.22 percent to 20,364. The Shanghai Composite Index was flat, inching up less than a point to 3,297, while the Shenzhen Composite Index on the mainland's second exchange eased 0.09 percent to 2,147.(AFP)
