Hong Kong shares fell to a five-week low on Thursday, underperforming
most Asian markets on weakness in Chinese stocks and after the US
Federal Reserve said it would trim stimulus.
The Hang Seng Index ended down 1.1 per cent at 22,888.75 points, while the China Enterprises Index of the top Chinese listings in Hong Kong fell 1.7 per cent. Both indexes closed at their lowest since mid-November.
Leading falls were Chinese financial and energy companies amid renewed concerns over rising funding costs.
