Hong Kong stocks plunge more than 4% at open

Asian markets started the week cautiously Monday following last week's rally, with investors picking up some profits while oil ticked lower for a second session after breaking above $40

Hong Kong stocks plunged more than four percent soon after opening on Thursday, as dealers returned from a three-day holiday to play catch-up with a global market rout.

The Hang Seng Index plunged 4.15 percent, or 801.24 points, to 18,486.93 in the first few minutes of trade.
