Hong Kong stocks drop to snap seven-day win streak

HONG KONG, April 4, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks fell Thursday as
profit-takers moved in after a seven-day rally, though investors remain
upbeat about the chances of success in the China-US trade talks.

The Hang Seng Index dipped 0.17 percent, or 50.07 points, to close at
29,936.32.

But the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index jumped 0.94 percent, or 30.27
points, to 3,246.57, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks
on China’s second exchange, added 0.45 percent, or 7.93 points, to 1,780.02.
