Hong Kong stocks began Tuesday morning with more losses following a heavy sell-off in New York and Europe, fuelled by worries about the reimposition of some lockdown measures in some countries in response to a fresh wave of virus infections.

The Hang Sang Index dropped 0.46 percent to 23,839.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.79 percent to 3,290, while the Shenzhen Composite Index shed 0.81 percent to 2,190. (AFP)
