Hong Kong stocks close 1.92% lower
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-04-28 16:42 Hong Kong's stock market continued to go down on Tuesday under the threat of swine flu, with blue-chip HSBC leading the decline. The benchmark Hang Seng Index dropped 285.31 points, or 1.92 percent to close at 14,555.11 on Tuesday. Market turnover went upward to HK$56.24 billion (about $7.26 billion) from Monday's HK$53.01 billion.
HSBC fell after sources said US regulators told Bank of America and Citigroup they may need to raise billions of dollars in additional capital, based on the early results of the government's stress tests of lenders. HSBC dropped 2.5 percent to HK$50.45 (about $6.51), contributing 69.19 points to the benchmark index's decline. Fears over the spread of swine flu further weighed on investor sentiment. Airline operator Cathay Pacific fell 1 percent to HK$8.34, extending its 8.0 percent fall on Monday, on concerns of weakened travel demand because of swine flu. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China bucked the market trend. It rose 2.5 percent to HK$4.12 as stake sell-downs by strategic investors removed an overhang on the stock. Allianz and American Express sold half the shares they own in ICBC in a private placement Tuesday, raising a total of $1.91 billion. (For more biz stories, please visit Industries)
