Hong Kong stocks end higher
Hong Kong stocks finished Monday slightly higher on hopes Beijing's tech sector overhaul has come to an end after fining two top fintech firms, though gains were tempered by another weak batch of Chinese economic data. The Hang Seng Index rose 0.6 percent, or 114 points, to 18,479. The Shanghai Composite Index edged up 0.2 percent, or 7 points, to 3,203, while the Shenzhen Composite Index added 0.3 percent, or 6 points, to 2,036. (Additional reporting by AFP)
