Hong Kong stocks end on a strong note
Hong Kong stocks finished with healthy gains on Tuesday, clawing back some of the previous day's rout, as concerns over the banking sector eased and traders awaited the Federal Reserve's latest interest rate decision. The Hang Seng Index jumped 1.4 percent, or 258 points, to 19,258. The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.6 percent, or 20 points, to 3,255, while the Shenzhen Composite Index climbed 1.6 percent, or 32 points, to 2,085. (AFP)
