Hong Kong stocks finish slightly higher
Hong Kong stocks ended marginally higher on Monday, on investor hopes that a wider war in the Middle East could be avoided and as traders awaited a key Federal Reserve policy meeting later in the week. The Hang Seng Index inched up 7 points to 17,406. The Shanghai Composite Index edged up 0.1 percent, or 3 points, to 3,021, and the Shenzhen Composite Index added 1.4 percent, or 25 points, to 1,884.
