Hong Kong stocks fall at open

HONG KONG, Sept 24, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks fell in the first
few minutes of trade Monday after China called off planned trade talks with
the United States, fuelling fears of an escalation of their long-running
tariff standoff.

The Hang Seng Index slipped 0.72 percent, or 200.87 points, to 27,752.71
in early trade.

Mainland Chinese markets are closed for a public holiday.
