Portfolio Pulse from Daniel Harrison
Hong Kong stocks ended the week lower due to a sell-off in tech stocks and ongoing property market issues. China's Central Bank injected a record stimulus into the banking system to maintain steady short-term prime loan rates. Morgan Stanley data showed foreign investors sold $1.6 billion of Chinese shares this month, with Tencent, Alibaba, and JD.com being the most affected. China Evergrande Group scrapped court hearings with creditors to negotiate $20 billion of its offshore debt, while Country Garden Holdings' bondholders are seeking a resolution to a missed bond payment.
