The Hang Seng China Enterprises index fell 0.22% to 10,850.53. ** About 2.06 billion Hang Seng index shares were traded, only about 81.2% of the market’s 30-day moving average of 2.54 billion shares a day. ** China’s exports grew strongly in March on improving global demand as COVID-19 vaccinations progress, and import growth hit a four-year high, adding to signs of a solidifying recovery in the world’s second-largest economy. ** China will maintain continuity, stability and sustainability of its economic policies, Sun Guofeng, head of the monetary policy department at the People’s Bank of China, said on Monday. ** The sub-index of the Hang Seng tracking energy shares rose 0.4%, the financial sector ended 1.1% higher and the property sector rose 1.07%. ** Tech shares continued to suffer, with the Hang Seng TECH index dipping 1.6%, a day after China imposed a sweeping restructuring on Jack Ma’s Ant Group, the fintech conglomerate whose record $37 billion IPO was derailed by regulators in November. ** The three biggest H-shares percentage decliners were Meituan , which was down 7.44%, JD.Com Inc, which fell 3.49% and Kuaishou Technology, down by 3.14%. ** Alibaba Group Holding Ltd crept 0.43% higher, bringing its gains for the week to nearly 7% after it was fined $2.75 billion by regulators for abusing its market dominance. Market players say expectations of regulatory action had been largely priced in before the fine. ** China’s main Shanghai Composite index closed down 0.48% at 3,396.47 points, while the blue-chip CSI300 index ended down 0.16%.
