Hong Kong, Shanghai stocks end week with gains

HONG KONG, June 22, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks finished a painful
week on a positive note Friday but investors remain on edge about a possible
trade war between China and the United States.

The Hang Seng Index rose 0.15 percent, or 42.65 points, to close at
29,338.70, sinking 3.18 percent over the week.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.49 percent, or 13.95
points, to 2,889.76 but it lost 4.37 percent over the week.

The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China’s second
exchange, added 1.21 percent, or 19.06 points, to 1,597.39, shedding 5.57
percent since last Friday’s close.
