Hong Kong: Stocks open higher on Tuesday

HONG KONG stocks opened higher on Tuesday (Nov 8), extending recent gains as China’s vow to stick to its painful zero-Covid policies failed to dampen optimism among traders.

The Hang Seng Index rose 0.27 per cent, or 44.69 points, to 16,640.60.

The Shanghai Composite Index was down 0.13 per cent, or 3.91 points, at 3,073.90, while the Shenzhen Composite Index on China’s second exchange dipped 0.20 per cent, or 3.96 points, to 2,023.89. AFP
