Hong Kong stocks closed higher on Tuesday, tracking gains in mainland China on stimulus hopes, though uncertainties around Sino-US trade talks and worries over protests in the island city curbed gains.
The Hang Seng index rose 0.3%, to 25,893.40, while the China Enterprises Index gained 0.5%, to 10,201.34.
The top gainers among H-shares were CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd, up 6.88%, followed by China Resources Beer Holdings Co Ltd, gaining 3.27%, and Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd, up by 2.88%.
The three biggest H-shares percentage decliners were Hengan International Group Company Ltd, which was down 1.49%, ENN Energy Holdings Ltd, which fell 1.28%, and Sinopharm Group down by 0.99%.
Prospects for progress in US-China trade talks dimmed on Monday after Washington blacklisted Chinese companies over Beijing's treatment of predominantly Muslim ethnic minorities, and President Donald Trump said a quick trade deal was unlikely.
