Hong Kong market holds gain

Hong Kong stock market ended slightly higher after trimming intraday gain late afternoon on Tuesday, 22 September 2015. The benchmark Hang Seng Index (HSI) opened up 37 points and widened its gains to 350 points at one stage as Fed officials tried to soothe fears over the world economy and investors expected good news from Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to US. But it pared nearly all of its gains by market close ahead of a reading on Chinese manufacturing activity for September due later today. The Hang Seng Index added 39.65 points, or 0.18%, at 21796.58 points. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, benchmark measure of performance of mainland China enterprises, lost 63.98 points, or 0.65%, to 9835.39 points. Turnover increased slightly to HK$74.4 billion from HK$70.2 billion on Monday.
