HONG KONG, July 25 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares slid 1.9 percent on Friday morning, as analysts predicted the end of a short-lived global rally after disappointing U.S. home sales data rekindled worries over the health of financial markets.

Energy stocks took a beating on a raft of bad news including more rigid price controls, profit warnings and easing oil prices.

China Shenhua Energy (1088.HK: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) fell 6.3 percent, adding to Thursday's 4.9 percent fall, after Beijing announced stricter price controls on thermal coal used by power plants.

Shares in Datang International Power (0991.HK: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), China's second-largest listed electricity provider, tumbled 7.3 percent after it estimated its first-half net profit fell more than 70 percent due to a sharp rise in coal prices.
