HK, China: Stocks start week with another rally

[HONG KONG] Hong Kong stocks climbed Monday to their highest level since summer 2015, building on last week's rally after the Federal Reserve flagged a slower pace of interest rate rises this year.

The Hang Seng Index rose 0.79 per cent, or 192.06 points, to close at 24,501.99.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.41 per cent, or 13.36 points, to 3,250.81. The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, climbed 0.31 per cent, or 6.32 points, to 2,036.05.
