Hong Kong stocks end flat
Hong Kong stocks finished barely moved on Wednesday as minutes suggesting the Federal Reserve could keep interest rates elevated for some time offset optimism that officials will not hike again. The Hang Seng Index inched up 0.7 points to 17,734. The Shanghai Composite Index shed 0.8 percent, or 24 points, to 3,043, and the Shenzhen Composite Index sank 1.2 percent, or 23 points, to 1,905.
