Hong Kong stocks open higher
Hong Kong stocks started Monday with healthy gains, helped by a big jump in tech firms as traders shrugged off a sharp drop on Wall Street at the end of last week. The Hang Seng Index rose 0.95 percent, or 200 points to 21,282. The Shanghai Composite Index edged up 0.05 percent to 3,196, while the Shenzhen Composite Index was flat, inching up 0.81 points to 2,027. (AFP)
