Hong Kong stocks end with losses

HONG KONG, Feb 27, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks ended slightly lower
Wednesday, with earlier gains reversed after Pakistan said it had shot down
two Indian jets, fuelling fears of an escalating confrontation between the
nuclear-armed neighbours.

The Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong dipped 0.05 percent, or 14.62 points, to
28,757.44.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.42 percent, or 12.30
points, to 2,953.82 while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks
on China’s second exchange, lost 0.57 percent, or 8.79 points, to 1,540.92.
