Hong Kong: Stocks end week on a positive note

The Hang Seng Index climbed 0.08 per cent, or 24.35 points, to 30,492.91.
The Shanghai Composite Index stumbled 0.66 per cent lower, or 20.33 points, to 3.075.14 and the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, slipped 1.20 per cent, or 21.22 points, to 1,746.33.
