Hong
Kong stocks posted their best performance in five months on Monday with
a jump of over 3 percent, inspired by a surge in Japanese shares and
Friday gains in U.S. and European markets following last week's global
equity sell-off.Unexpectedly light losses in mainland China stock markets, which reopened after the week-long Lunar New Year holiday, also encourage some buying interest.
The benchmark Hang Seng index, which sank to 3-1/2-year lows on Friday, jumped 3.3 percent, to 18,918.14 points. The China Enterprises Index rallied 4.8 percent, to 7,863.84 points, after sliding nearly 7 percent last week.
Both indexes posted their biggest one-day gain since Sept. 9.
Shares rose across the board, with energy and financial shares among the biggest gainers. Global banking giant HSBC surged 4.3 percent after it decided to keep its headquarters in Britain.
