Hong Kong stocks down for third day

Hong Kong share market ended down for third straight session on Thursday, 05 March 2015, as risk sentiments undermined by tracking negative finish of Wall Street overnight and China's lowering of its economic growth forecast to about 7% for 2015. The decline was broadbased, with shares of financial and energy companies leading declines. The Hang Seng Index ended down 272.34 points or 1.11% to 24193.04, off an intra-day high of 24393.85 and day low of 24133.71. Turnover jumped to HK$92.1 billion from HK$78 billion on Wednesday.
