Hong Kong's equities plunged 198 points or 1.0% to 19,405 on Thursday morning deals, ending gains in the previous two sessions amid declines in all sectors, especially consumers, tech, and financials.
Sentiment was downbeat following overnight losses on Wall Street, driven by a pullback in major US tech stocks ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Meanwhile, concerns over trade disputes between China and the US administration were heightened as the Biden administration reportedly considered imposing additional restrictions on the sales of semiconductor equipment and AI memory chips to China.
