Hong Kong stock market ended firmer in volatile trade on Monday, 31 August 2015. The Hang Seng Index (HSI) opened up 180 points at 21,793, which marked the intra-day high, and pared all of its gains afterwards as the A-share market weighed. In afternoon trade, China Mobile (00941) and Tencent (00700) led the rally, lending support to the benchmark. However, market gain was limited as comments from Federal Reserve officials renewed speculation the U.S. might raise interest rates as soon as September. The Hang Seng Index ended higher by 58.19 points, or 0.27%, at 21670.58 points. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, benchmark measure of performance of mainland China enterprises, sank 9.32 points, or 0.1%, to 9741.41 points. Turnover reduced to HK$94.5 billion from HK$113 billion on Friday.
