Hong Kong share market ended down in volatile trade on Friday, 27 February 2015, reversing the previous day's gains, amid concerns about possible tightening measures on Hong Kong's housing markets.
The benchmark index opened unchanged but saw its gains widen by midday after the Shanghai market broke above 3,300 mark. But it pared all its gains in late afternoon on talks of potential measures to curb property market by the government. The Hang Seng Index ended down 78 points or 0.3% to 24,823, off an intra-day high of 25,101 and day low of 24,815. The H-share index fell 41 points or 0.3% to 12,185. Turnover reduced to HK$76.6 billion from HK$82.7 billion on Thursday.
