The Hong Kong stock market finished session lower on Monday, 05 December 2016, as investors assessed the implications of the resignation of Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi after he suffered a humiliating defeat in a referendum over constitutional reforms. Investors largely shrugged off launch of the long-awaited Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect today, which will give mainland investors access to Hong Kong-listed stocks, and allow international investors to trade Shenzhen-listed stocks. The Hang Seng Index ended down 0.26%, or 59.27 points, to 22,505.55, while the Hang Seng China Enterprises index declined 0.71%, or 69.43 points, to 9,711.80. Turnover decreased to HK$68.8 billion from HK$80.9 billion on Friday.
