Hong Kong stocks drop most in nearly 2 weeks as stimulus hopes wane, earnings drag


HONG KONG: Hong Kong shares fell the most in nearly two weeks on Thursday, as hopes of further Chinese stimulus faded and poor corporate earnings and simmering Sino-U.S. tensions weighed on sentiment.

The Hang Seng index closed down 1.5% at 24,791.39, marking its biggest daily percentage fall since Aug. 7. The Hang Seng China Enterprises index also fell 1.5%.
