Hong Kong shares split beneath a nearly flat HSI
By OnTheRice · Sources and limitations · Report a correction
Reuters reported the Hang Seng Index down 0.08% by midday, with property shares down 0.9% and financials down 0.7%, while Hang Seng Tech rose 0.3%. An earlier AP snapshot had the HSI unchanged at 23,971.55; its timing is not a matched quote. The split supports only a conditional bearish HSI view pending a post-lunch check.
