Hong Kong stocks fall

Hong Kong stocks weakened on Friday, tracking broader losses in other Asian markets following downbeat China growth data, but made weekly gains on hopes more measures would be taken to support the island city's economy amid months-long protests. The Hang Seng index fell 0.5% to end at 26,719.58, while the China Enterprises Index lost 0.5% to close at 10,540.04.

For the week, HSI was up 1.6%, while HSCE climbed 0.8%. China's third-quarter economic growth slowed more than expected and to its weakest pace in almost three decades as the bruising US trade war hit factory production, boosting the case for Beijing to roll out fresh support.
