Hong Kong stocks end week with big loss
Hong Kong stocks tumbled on Friday after more than a week of gains, with a bigger-than-expected rise in US consumer prices reviving worries the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates further. The Hang Seng Index sank 2.33 percent, or 424 points, to 17,813. The Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.64 percent, or 19 points, to 3,088, while the Shenzhen Composite Index fell 0.79 percent, or 15 points, to 1,905. (AFP)
