Hong Kong shares closed Tuesday with a small loss as profit-takers moved in following a healthy two-day rally, though Chinese property firms were boosted by hopes for policy support for the sector from the mainland government.
The Hang Seng Index dipped 0.05 percent, or 9.22 points, to 19,099.28.
The Shanghai Composite Index fell 1.15 percent, or 37.10 points, to 3,195.34, while the Shenzhen Composite Index on China's second exchange dived 1.73 percent, or 35.08 points, to 1,998.62.
