[HONG KONG] Hong Kong stocks rose soon after opening Thursday, in line with a rally in New York and European markets but Shanghai edged down for a second successive day on lingering worries over the Chinese economy.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index added 0.30 per cent, or 59.16 points, to 20,055.42 in the first few minutes.
