HONG KONG: Hong Kong stocks finished the morning in the red, extending the previous day's losses following a six-day rally while traders fear the latest crisis to engulf the White House could throw Donald Trump's economy-boosting agenda offline.

The Hang Seng eased 0.27 percent, or 67.83 points, to 25268.11 by the break.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.10 percent, or 3.25 points, to 3,109.71 but the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, added 0.50 percent, or 9.31 points, to 1,874.58.
