HONG KONG, Aug 14 (Reuters): Hong Kong shares finished lower on Thursday, with investors taking profits on Chinese energy firms and companies that posted strong earnings.
A decline in mainland China indexes also weighed on the market.
The Hang Seng Index ended down 0.4 per cent at 24,801.36 points, after hitting its highest intraday level since November 2010.
The China Enterprises Index of the leading offshore Chinese listings in Hong Kong, which closed at an 8-month high on Wednesday, sank 1.1 per cent.
Tencent Holdings was the biggest index drag, shedding 2.3 per cent.
