HONG KONG, June 17 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares finished lower for third straight day on Wednesday with resources-linked stocks battered by weak commodity prices, but the main index bounced off early lows led by a late rally in Chinese banks stocks.

The benchmark Hang Seng Index was down 80.90 points or 0.5 percent at 18,084.60. The index fell to 17,833.77 during the morning session.

The China Enterprises Index of top mainland companies slipped 16.17 points of 0.2 percent to 10,700.15. (Reporting by Parvathy Ullatil; Editing by Chris Lewis)
