Hong Kong: Hong Kong stocks ended sharply higher Friday as Chinese trade data came in better than expected despite the tariff war with Washington and following the previous day’s heavy losses.
The Hang Seng index jumped 2.12 percent, or 535.12 points to close at 25,801.49.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.91 percent, or 23.45 points, to 2,606.91, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China’s second exchange, added 0.19 percent, or 2.46 points, to 1,296.36.
