The sharpest selloff on Wall Street in two years is set to push Hong Kong's benchmark down for a fourth straight day to its lowest level this year as investors dump equities on fears of a worsening crisis in Europe and stalling global economic growth. The Hang Seng Index has struggled to find firm footing despite relatively healthy corporate earnings, with cyclicals and small-caps the worst affected. [Photo/Agencies]
