(ANSA) - BEIJING, SEPTEMBER 14 - The Hong Kong stock exchange opens the session with a sharp correction after the heavy losses recorded by Wall Street due to US inflation in August which, although slowing down to + 8.3% from +8.5 % in July (but more than expectations of + 8.1%), will lead the Federal Reserve to raise rates again decisively: the Hang Seng index drops 2.30%, to 18,882.15 points.
The Shanghai Composite, on the other hand, lost 0.89% to 3,234.71 points, while the Shenzhen Composite lost 1.13%, slipping to 2,100.95 points.
