HK stocks open with further losses
Hong Kong stocks opened on the back foot Friday, extending their losing streak to a sixth successive day, fuelled by worries over the mainland's economy and talk of another US Federal Reserve interest rate hike. The Hang Seng Index fell 0.64 percent to 18,209. The Shanghai Composite Index edged up marginally, adding 1.36 points to 3,165, while the Shenzhen Composite Index on the mainland's second exchange inched down 0.09 percent to 1,983. (AFP)
