Hong Kong shares open slightly higher

HONG KONG, March 11, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks edged up in the
opening exchanges Monday as investors picked up bargains after last week’s
hefty losses, though gains were limited by ongoing concerns about the global
outlook.

The Hang Seng Index added 0.13 percent, or 37.43 points, to 28,265.85.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index inched down 0.78 points to
2,969.08, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China’s
second exchange, added 0.65 percent, or 10.39 points, to 1,615.67.
