HONG KONG, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares slid on Monday, with losses accelerating into the close as weakness in oil producers weighed, although overall turnover remained subdued with mainland markets still closed for the Lunar New Year holiday.
The Hang Seng Index <.HSI> fell 1.49 percent to 23,553.59 after trading slightly higher at the open. The index jumped 1.8 percent on the last trading day before the holiday.
