The Hong Kong stock market declined for fourth consecutive session on Tuesday, 08 December 2015, echoing slump in the US counterparts overnight and as China trade data signaled a deepening slowdown in the world second largest economy. Shares of energy and material producers were the worst- performing industry groups after oil plunged to the lowest level in more than six years and Chinese imports extended a slump to a record 13 months. By midday, the Hang Seng Index ended down 374 points or 1.7% to 21,829.
