Hong Kong: Stocks open slightly higher on Monday

[HONG KONG] Hong Kong stocks were flat in the first few minutes of trade on Monday, with concerns about a global trade war offset by bargain-buying after last week's sharp losses.

The Hang Seng Index edged up 8.94 points to 30,592.39 soon after opening.

And the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index inched up 1.34 points to 3,255.87, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, rose 0.19 per cent, or 3.38 points, to 1,825.59.
