Hong Kong: Hong Kong stocks tumbled Thursday in line with a global sell-off fuelled by worries that a crisis enveloping Donald Trump could derail his much-vaunted economy-boosting agenda.

The Hang Seng shed 0.62 percent, or 157.11 points, to 25,136.52.

And the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.46 percent, or 14.30 points, to 3,090.14 while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, lost 0.63 percent, or 11.69 points, to 1,855.99.
