  "account": "Hong Kong's stock market closed lower on Wednesday, with the Hang Seng Index falling 0.98 percent to 24,315 points. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index slipped 1.14 percent to 8,171, while the Hang Seng Tech Index dipped 1.41 percent. In mainland China, the Shanghai Composite Index bounced back from earlier losses, ending up 0.5 percent, and the blue-chip CSI300 index rose 0.4 percent.
