Hong Kong stocks finish flat
Hong Kong shares closed barely moved on Wednesday as bargain-buying after a recent sell-off was offset by more weak Chinese economic data. The Hang Seng Index inched up 5.36 points to 19,954.39. The Shanghai Composite Index sank 0.78 percent, or 25.08 points, to 3,202.14. The Shenzhen Composite Index on China's second exchange lost 1.95 percent, or 41.65 points, to 2,096.07. (AFP)
