Hong Kong stocks seen down, China market in focus
HONG KONG, June 2 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks should fall on Monday amid renewed worries over inflation in mainland China and concern about the outlook for the global economy.
"Some 200 points downside is expected after Friday's rally. Some of the stocks had been seriously overbought," said Francis Lun, general manager from Fulbright Securities.
"Investors are unlikely to brave the market in an unclear market trend."
The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI closed up 0.61 percent at 24,533.12 points on Friday, lifted by a 4.8 percent jump in PetroChina (0857.HK). The index ended the week down 0.7 percent, and fell 5 percent for the month.
The China Enterprises Index of Hong Kong-listed mainland companies .HSCE, or H shares, ended Friday up 1.91 percent at 13,770.51.
