Sept 22 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks posted their worstdecline in a month on Friday, erasing much of the week's gains,as investors trimmed positions following S&P's downgrade ofChina's sovereign credit rating and North Korea's nuclearthreats. The U.S. Federal Reserve's plan to shrink its balance sheetand later raise interest rates has also dented sentiment. The Hang Seng index dropped 0.8 percent, to 27,880.53points, posting its biggest one-day percentage drop since Aug.18. The Hong Kong China Enterprises Index lost 0.8percent, to 11,109.00. But both gauges were still up for the week, gaining 0.3percent and 0.4 percent, respectively. Confidence is weakened by S&P's one-notch China downgrade toA+ from AA-. The downgrade prompted a similar action againstHong Kong's sovereign credit rating. While Chinese firms do not have significant borrowings fromoverseas, the downgrade presents a psychological setback forinvestors. Market participants are also concerned about heightenedtensions over North Korea's military provocations.
