Reuters (05/4) - Hong Kong shares
finished a holiday-shortened week at their lowest close since Nov. 28,
as fears of a bird flu outbreak sparked a broad selloff, and further
falls looked possible after the benchmark index broke below a key
technical support.
The Hang Seng Index ended down 2.7 percent at
21,726.9 on Friday. The China Enterprises Index of the leading Chinese
listings in Hong Kong shed 3.1 percent. It, too, ended at its lowest
point since Nov. 28. During the shortened week, the indexes slid 2.6 and
4.3 percent, respectively.
Markets in mainland China stayed shut
for a public holiday and will resume trading on Monday. The Shanghai
Composite Index and the CSI300 of the top Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share
listings each fell 0.5 percent this week.
