HONG KONG (XFN-ASIA) - Share prices closed sharply lower, extending a correction for the third straight session as investors continued to take profits in China stocks and property counters, dealers said.

A steep fall on the Japanese market and a lacklustre showing on Wall Street overnight weighed on sentiment, they said.

The Hang Seng Index closed down 329.74 points or 1.66 pct at 19,568.34, off a low of 19,507.97 and high of 19,693.70. The index has dropped over 640 points so far this week.

Turnover was 64 bln hkd.
