Hong Kong Stock Market May Take Further Damage On Wednesday

The Hong Kong stock market has finished lower in consecutive trading days, slumping almost 300 points or 1.2 percent along the way. The Hang Seng Index now rests just beneath the 25,680-point plateau and it’s likely to open under pressure again on Wednesday.

The global forecast for the Asian markets is negative on weakness among the tech shares and because of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and its effect on oil prices. The European markets were mixed and the U.S. bourses were down and the Asian markets figure to split the difference.
