Hong Kong stocks open higher on partial trade deal

HONG KONG, Oct 14, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks rallied out of the
blocks Monday after China and the United States reached a mini trade deal
that raised hopes the two sides were on the path to resolving their long-
running stand-off.

The Hang Seng Index jumped 0.81 percent, or 214.36 points, to 26,522.80.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.68 percent, or 20.30
points, to 2,993.96, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks
on China’s second exchange, added 0.85 percent, or 13.91 points, to 1,650.87.
