Hong Kong Market rises for fourth day

The Hong Kong stock market advanced for fourth straight session on Tuesday 06 September 2016, buoyed by a flood of capital pouring in from the mainland since last week, as investors there actively hunt for yields in a low-interest rate environment. Last week, Chinese investors spent 17.7 billion yuan ($2.65 billion) buying Hong Kong stocks under the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, the biggest weekly inflows since last April. The benchmark Hang Seng Index inclined 138.13 points, or 0.58%, to 23787.68 points. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, benchmark measure of performance of mainland China enterprises, rose 107.82 points, or 1.1%, to 9938.39. Turnover decreased slightly to HK$75.6 billion from HK$76.9 billion on Monday.
