Hong Kong stocks ended slightly lower on Wednesday, snapping a four-session winning streak, as a stronger US dollar added to worries about capital outflows from emerging markets. The Hang Seng index closed down 0.1 percent at 22,134.47 points, while the Hong Kong China Enterprises Index slipped 0.2 percent to 9,440.99. But investor anxiety was expected to ease, with the HIS Volatility Index, a gauge of market stress, falling nearly 4.7 percent by the close. Most sectors advanced modestly on Wednesday. Industrial stocks led gains, rising around 1.4 percent.
