Hong Kong stocks open down

HONG KONG, Nov 2, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - Hong Kong and Shanghai stocks started
Wednesday morning slightly lower after a surge a day earlier that was fuelled
by an unverified statement saying China was forming a committee to discuss
rolling back some of its painful zero-Covid measures.

The Hang Seng Index slipped 0.43 percent, or 65.72 points, to 15,389.55.

The Shanghai Composite Index edged down 0.29 percent, or 8.55 points, to
2,960.65, while the Shenzhen Composite Index on China's second exchange eased
0.21 percent, or 4.17 points, to 1,938.19.
