Hong Kong stocks build on gains in morning

HONG KONG, Jan 7, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong stocks extended gains the
morning session Monday after a surge on Wall Street as dealers welcomed
easing measures by China’s central bank as well as the beginning of trade
talks with the US in Beijing.

The Hang Seng Index added 0.67 percent, or 172.28 points, to 25,798.31 by
the break.
