HK blue chips dip 0.2 pct as HSBC drops

(Updates to open)

HONG KONG, March 5 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks fell on
Wednesday as a broker warning about more losses at Citigroup
prompted investors to book profits in heavyweight HSBC Holdings
(0005.HK: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), a day after the stock jumped on its forecast-beating
earnings.

The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI opened down 0.2 percent
at 23,066.64.
