HK shares down broadly amid weak US economic outlook

(Updates to open)

HONG KONG, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks fell across
the board on Friday as a weak economic assessment by the Federal
Reserve chairman and fresh credit market turmoil prompted
investors to lock in gains amassed from three straight days of
advances.

The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI opened down 2.1 percent
at 23,511.47.
