Hong Kong stocks down for fifth day

Hong Kong share market closed softer in volatile trade on Monday, 09 March 2015, extending fall for straight fifth session, as risk sentiments undermined by tracking Wall Street slump on Friday last week amid fears of earlier rate hike after stronger-than-expected jobs data. The Hang Seng Index ended down 40.95 points or 0.17% to 24123.05, off an intra-day high of 24205.86 and day low of 23910.16. Turnover rose to HK$76.5 billion from HK$72.5 billion on Friday.
