Hong Kong, Shanghai stocks end day with gains

HONG KONG, Sept 18, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong and Shanghai stocks rose
Tuesday after Donald Trump delayed imposing the highest tariffs on Chinese
imports until year-end, giving time for talks.

The Hang Seng Index rose 0.56 percent, or 151.81 points, to close at
27,084.66.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index jumped 1.82 percent, or 48.16
points, to 2,699.95. The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on
China’s second exchange, climbed 1.68 percent, or 23.17 points, to 1,404.15.
