HONG KONG, Feb 4 (Reuters): Hong Kong shares suffered their biggest daily tumble in nearly 1-1/2 years in strong volumes, with Chinese growth-sensitive sectors sliding as investors returned on Tuesday from the Lunar New Year holiday, catching up with losses elsewhere.
The Hang Seng Index ended down 2.9 per cent at 21,397.8 points in its biggest single-day loss since July 23, 2012.
