Hong Kong’s main stock index closed up for the third straight session on Monday, following gains in the world’s major markets, with property stocks leading the rise.
The Hong Kong market also took cues from rebounding mainland stocks, which recorded a six-day winning streak on expectations of further monetary easing in the wake of last week’s largely-disappointing economic data.
The Hang Seng index rose 0.2 per cent to 24,726.53, while the China Enterprises Index gained 0.1 per cent to 11,934.57 points.
Among the most actively traded stocks on Hong Kong’s main board were Crocodile, up 83.3 per cent at HK$0.99; ARTINI, up 13.5 per cent at HK$0.14; and Shanghai Zendai , up 1.4 per cent at HK$0.22.
Total trading volume of companies included in the HSI index was 1.0 billion shares.
