Hong Kong's economy is currently in a technical recession, after seeing two three-month periods in a row of contraction this year.
"The Hang Seng has hit a 13-year low and nothing is really helping the fragile sentiment," Dickie Wong, executive director of Kingston Securities said.
"There's also a sense that tax rebates are not enough to draw foreigners back to Hong Kong," he added.
Traders were also concerned about the Hong Kong government's "unprecedented silence on key economic indicators," Kelvin Tay, regional chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management said.
