Last Update: 2/8/2011 4:43:11 PM

Helping weigh on Hong Kong shares, the Shanghai Composite lost 0.2% to 2,793.1 as it returned from the Chinese New Year holiday. Real-estate shares were among the loss-leaders: Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd. dropped 1.3%, Hang Lung Properties Ltd. surrendered 3.5%, and Sino Land Co. was down 3.2%. Some airline shares also traded sharply lower in the wake of a tick-up in crude-oil futures overnight, with Air China Ltd. down 3.1%, and Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. losing 3.3%.
