Hong Kong, Shanghai end higher day after sell-off

HONG KONG, June 20, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong and mainland Chinese stocks
rose Wednesday on bargain buying after tanking the previous day but investors
remain nervous about a possible trade war between China and the United
States.

The Hang Seng Index added 0.77 percent, or 228.02 points, to close at
29,696.17.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index edged up 0.27 percent, or 7.91
points, to 2,915.73 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on
China’s second exchange, rose 1.16 percent, or 18.55 points, to 1,612.60.
