Hong Kong market rises 0.2%

The Hong Kong stock market closed modestly higher on Friday, 19 June 2015, as risk sentiments propelled by robust session on Wall Street overnight. The gain came despite speculation of a possible Greek exit from the Eurozone and sharp plunge in the Mainland China A-share market today amid increasingly wary of what many analysts describe as a bubble. The Hang Seng Index advanced 65.87 points or 0.25% to finish at 26760.53, off an intra-day high of 27011.95 and day low of 26701.72. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, benchmark measure of performance of mainland China enterprises, surrendered 77.32 points, or 0.58%, to 13186.05 points. Turnover increased to HK$140.61 billion from HK$106.2 billion on Thursday.
