Hong Kong Stocks spooked by Trump's resurgence in polls

The Hong Kong stock market finished the session lower on Wednesday, 02 November 2016, amid increasing uncertainty over the US presidential election. Global markets, which had priced in a much higher chance of a victory for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the November 8 election, have been roiled by new polls that suggest the race with Republican Donald Trump may be growing too close to call. The Hang Seng Index fell 1.45% or 336.57 points to 22810.50, while the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index shed 1.92% or 186.33 points to 9519.87. Turnover decreased to HK$54.7 billion from HK$65.6 billion on Tuesday.
