Hang Seng Finishes Slightly Lower

The Hang Seng fell 23 points or 0.12% to end at 19,823 on Wednesday, closing in the red for the fourth session amid a sharp drop in US futures as concerns built that US President-elect Donald Trump's planned policies might fuel inflation and slow the pace of interest rate cuts.

Markets hovered around their lowest in six weeks, dragged by the potential appointment of China hawks to key US cabinet positions, which could lead to a tougher stance on trade and tariffs against Beijing. Property and financials mainly retreated, with investors staying vigilant ahead of key US inflation data and upcoming Chinese activity readings. Still, losses were capped by reports that China may cut taxes on home buying by the end of this year.

Meantime, positive outcomes are expected from the Chinese central government's work forum and a Politburo meeting in December. Smoore Intl. Ltd. sank near 6.6%, alongside Akeso Inc. (-3.8%), Wuxi Biologics (-3.0%), Haidilao Intl. Hlds. (-2.7%), and Geely Auto (-2.1%).
