Hong Kong stocks closed sharply lower Monday, hit by profit-taking and concerns about fresh China-US tensions, which overshadowed data showing China's exports rose at their fastest pace in almost three years last month.

The Hang Seng Index fell 1.23%, or 329.07 points, to 26 506.85.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.81%, or 27.98 points, to 3 416.60, while the Shenzhen Composite Index on China's second exchange shed 0.30%, or 6.92 points to 2 294.91
