SHANGHAI, Nov 6 (Reuters): Hong Kong shares fell on Thursday, dampened by consolidation after recent rallies and uncertainty over the progress of a cross-border share scheme between Shanghai and the city.
The Hang Seng Index unofficially closed down 0.2 per cent at 23,649.31 points, while the China Enterprises Index of the leading offshore Chinese listings in Hong Kong fell 0.5 per cent.
Analysts said the impact of the delayed Shanghai-Hong Kong stock connector outweighed gains in the US market.
Hong Kong's Financial Secretary John Tsang said Beijing officials were positive about the launch but would wait for the right moment to announce it, which weighed on sentiment.
