Hong Kong stocks rally in morning session

HONG KONG, Jan 15, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong shares rallied Tuesday morning,
recovering from the pervious day’s sharp losses, as investors welcomed a
pledge by Chinese officials to cut taxes as part of a move to support the
stuttering economy.

The Hang Seng Index jumped 1.70 percent, or 448.24 points, to 26,746.57 by
the break.
