Hong Kong equities retreated on Monday as market players booked profits after four-day rally on better-than-expected data from Europe and the US. Adding pressure on Hong Kong blue chips, investors were cautious ahead of Eurogroup meeting on Greece's bailout due later in the day. However, the downswing was capped by easing concerns over slowing national economy. The Institute of Economic Research of Renmin University of China reported that Chinese economy is likely to expand by annualized 8.4% in Q4 compared to 7.4% in Q3. The Hang Seng Index shed 0.24% to close at 21,861.81. Only three in nine sectors climbed. Retailers led gains, with Belle International and COSCO Pacific soaring 3.06% and 2.92%. Among losers, technology and oil and gas sectors dropped the most. Tencent sagged 1.56%, while PetroChina and CNOOC dipped 0.97% and 0.24%. Telecommunications edged down after outperforming last week. China Unicom Hong Kong and China Mobile tanked 0.49% and 0.46%.
