Hong Kong stocks fell on Tuesday as a deepening political crisis threatens to plunge the city into economic recession, while festering Sino-US trade tensions continue to curb risk appetite. But the decline was limited amid signs capital from mainland China is flooding the Hong Kong equity market. The Hang Seng index fell 0.4%, to 25,527.85, while the China Enterprises Index lost 0.7%, to 10,035.78.
