Hong Kong stocks stocks closed Friday morning in the red as profit-takers moved in following a five-day, vaccine-fuelled rally, while traders are also keeping tabs on rising virus infections.

The Hang Seng Index dipped 0.16 percent, or 42 points, to 26,776.

By contrast, mainland stocks rose, helped by upbeat industrial profits that pointed to a continued recovery in the world's second largest economy amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The CSI300 index rose 0.1 percent to 4,924 points at the end of the morning session, while the Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.1 percent to 3,368. (AFP/Reuters)
