HK stocks drop further on renewed US recession fears

(Updates to open)

HONG KONG, March 10 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks fell on
Monday, as investors sold shares across the board on deepening
fears of a U.S. recession after the latest U.S. labour data
showed employers cut jobs by the most in nearly five years.

The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI opened down 0.5 percent
at 22,387.25. The China Enterprises Index of Hong Kong-listed
mainland companies .HSCE, or H shares, was down 1.5 percent at
12,147.57.
