Hong Kong stocks rebound by break

HONG KONG: Hong Kong stocks retreated Friday morning after the previous day's surge as investors contemplated a Donald Trump presidency, with fears his policies could see a sharp rise in interest rates.

The Hang Seng index fell 1.05 percent, or 239.2 points, to 22,599.91 by the break.

But the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.61 percent, or 19.22 points, to 3,190.50 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, climbed 0.16 percent, or 3.33 points, to 2,100.22.
