Hang Seng falls for eighth consecutive day

Headline shares of the Hong Kong market declined for eighth consecutive session on Tuesday, 16 September 2014, on tracking negative cues from jittery global markets and on caution before the US Federal Reserve's much awaited monetary policy meeting that starts later on global day. The Hang Seng Index ended 220.98 points, or 0.91%, down at 24136.01. The benchmark index has fallen for eight consecutive trading days, losing a total of 1182 points during the period. Market half-day turnover was HK$57.7 billion, compared to the whole day vaule of HK$66.6 billion on Monday. The Hong Kong stock exchange was closed in the morning session due to a typhoon.
