HK stocks ease, power firms down but Lenovo up
HONG KONG, April 18 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks eased on Friday, tracking lower Shanghai shares, as Chinese power and power equipment counters came under pressure on concerns about rising costs.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index opened down 0.1 percent at 24,234.53 on Friday,
The China Enterprises Index of Hong Kong-listed mainland companies, or H shares, eased 0.56 percent to 12,814.97.
But Lenovo (0992.HK), the world's No. 4 personal computer maker, bucked the negative market trend to rise 2.87 percent following a strong showing by U.S. technology bellwether International Business Machines Corp (IBM.N). (Reporting by Alison Leung; Editing by Anne Marie Roantree)
