Hong Kong stock market rises on US stimulus hopes
AP - Tuesday, January 20
HONG KONG - Hong Kong shares climbed Monday amid hopes a massive stimulus plan will boost the U.S. economy, but expectations of dour fourth quarter earnings capped gains.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng recovered early losses to add 84.48 points, or more than 0.6 percent, to 13,339.99.
Sentiment has been supported in recent days by hopes that the new U.S. administration under President-elect Barack Obama, who takes office Tuesday, will act to revive the economy.
The optimism could quickly fade amid a litany of dismal earnings results, said Castor Pang, an analyst at Sun Hung Kai Financial.
"Most investors fear the U.S. markets will continue to tumble. Once Obama's inauguration is out of the way, companies will release fourth quarter results and they are expected to be very poor," Pang said.
Dragging on the broader market was heavy selling in HSBC amid worries about the company's outlook. Shares of the heavyweight European lender dropped 3 percent to 62.3 Hong Kong dollars.
