(01-09 10:16)
Stocks in Hong Kong opened 0.19 percent higher today after three days of losses and on hopes for strong economic data out of China later in the week. The benchmark Hang Seng Index gained 43.52 points to 23,154.71 in the first few minutes, AFP reports.
In Shanghai, shares were flat in early trading as investors awaited December foreign trade and inflation data, to be released later this week, for fresh trading cues, dealers said. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index edged up 0.08 percent, or 1.82 points, to 2,277.89.
