[HONG KONG] Bargain-hunters helped Hong Kong stocks rally 0.83 per cent Wednesday after a recent sell-off that has been fuelled by tumbling oil price and concerns about Greece.

In mainland China the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.67 per cent, or 22.50 points, to 3,373.95 - the highest finish since August 2009 - on turnover of 436.4 billion yuan (US$71.2 billion).
