HK stocks head into weekend with big gain
Hong Kong stocks finished the week on a strong note on Friday, building on the previous day's rally fuelled by the Federal Reserve's indication it will cut interest rates next year. The Hang Seng Index jumped 2.4 percent, or 390 points, to 16,792. The Shanghai Composite Index eased 0.6 percent, or 16 points, to 2,942, and the Shenzhen Composite Index fell 0.4 percent, or 7 points, to 1,828. (AFP)
