HONG KONG (AFX) - Share prices finished the morning session lower as investors locked in profits in certain banks and property stocks following early gains, with caution renewed ahead of the US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke's testimony to the Congress tonight, dealers said.

Bernanke's statement is expected to give further clues on the Fed's interest rate policy for the coming months, they said.

The Hang Seng Index ended the morning down 49.06 points or 0.32 pct at 15,371.26, off a low of 15,371.26 and high of 15,514.93.
