HONG KONG, Feb 12, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong shares jumped in the first

nine percent off the benchmark index.
The Hang Seng Index added 0.70 percent, or 205.66 points, to 29,713.08.
But the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index inched down 0.05 percent, or
1.48 points, to 3,128.37 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks
stocks on China’s second exchange, climbed 0.52 percent, or 8.77 points, to
