Hong Kong's stock market dips amid economy fears
AP - 1 hour 13 minutes ago
HONG KONG - Hong Kong shares declined Wednesday, hurt by weakness on Wall Street and worries about the global economy.
The blue-chip Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 101.81 points, or 0.7 percent, to 13,939.09.
An overnight pullback in U.S. markets, as well as the increasingly grim outlook for companies around the world, were largely to blame, analyst said.
"The markets are more pessimistic today," said Dariusz Kowalczyk, chief investment strategist at CFC Seymor in Hong Kong. "It is evident that recession is having a detrimental impact on demand, prices, sales and profits."
Hong Kong developers took a hit amid worries about the local property market.
Leading developer Sun Hung Kai dropped almost 4 percent to $63 Hong Kong dollars, while Cheung Kong fell 3.7 percent lower to HK$69.9.
In commodities, upstream oil producer CNOOC closed 1.3 percent lower at HK$6.07 as crude prices continued to slide.
Hong Kong's interbank lending rate, known as Hibor, for three-month loans eased further, from 2.10 percent to 2.04 percent.
