CENTRAL: The Hong Kong stock market finished session higher after recouping intraday losses on Tuesday, 03 April 2018, thanks to bargain hunting in consumer and resources stocks. However gains were limited amid escalating trade tensions between the United States and Chin after China slapped retaliatory tariffs on 128 U. S. products on Tuesday in response to U.
S. duties on steel and aluminum imports. At close of trade, the Hang Seng index was up 0.3% at 30,180.10, while the Hang Seng China Enterprises index closed up 1.2% to 12,136.67. Turnover on the main board dropped 15% to HK$116.6 billion from the previous session.
