India, July 9 -- The Hong Kong stock market turned lower again on Thursday, one day after halting the three-day winning streak in which it had jumped more than 800 points or 3.6 percent. The Hang Seng Index now sits just above the 24,030-point plateau although it's likely to see renewed support on Friday.

The global forecast for the Asian markets is positive, with technology stocks likely to lead the markets higher - while sinking oil prices add to the upbeat sentiment. The European and U.S. markets were up and the Asian markets figure to follow that lead.
