Hong Kong stocks rally into the break

HONG KONG, Nov 8, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong shares rallied almost one
percent Thursday morning, boosted by bets political gridlock in Washington
will prevent Donald Trump unveiling inflation-fuelling measures that would
send interest rates surging.

The Hang Seng Index rose 0.96 percent, or 251.21 points, to 26,398.90.
