HK stocks to open down 0.19 pct; Foxconn falls
HONG KONG, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares are set to open 0.19 percent down on Tuesday as overall sentiment remained cautious, weighed down by falls in the tech sector after a profit warning from Foxconn.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI, which hit a three-month closing low in the previous session, was down 38.44 points. The China Enterprises Index .HSCE of top locally listed mainland Chinese stocks was down 0.26 percent at 11,827.90.
Foxconn International (2038.HK), a contract mobile phone maker, fell 2.82 percent after the firm issued a profit warning on Monday saying it expects a "significant decline" in consolidated net profit for the full year of 2009 due to lower demand and weaker pricing.
