Hong Kong: Stocks open higher

[HONG KONG] Hong Kong stocks opened in positive territory on Monday, in line with gains across Asian markets as a slight recovery in oil prices from last week's plunge lifted energy firms.

The Hang Seng index added 0.41 per cent, or 106.25 points, to 25,776.30.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index was flat, dipping 0.87 points to 3,157.00 while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, was marginally higher, adding 0.38 points to 1,871.72.
