Hong Kong stocks rise at opening
HONG KONG, May 22, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks opened in positive
territory Wednesday following a much-needed rally on Wall Street, but trade
tensions and the Huawei row are keeping any gains in check.
The Hang Seng Index rose 0.35 percent, or 96.30 points, to 27,753.54.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index was barely moved, inching down 0.44
points to 2,905.52 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on
China’s second exchange, slipped 0.14 percent, or 2.10 points, to 1,546.59.
