Hong Kong - Hong Kong shares surged by more than 4.5 per cent Friday on the first day of trading in 2009, re-crossing the 15,000-point barrier.
The blue-chip Hang Seng Index ended the day up 655.33 points, or 4.55 per cent, at 15,042.81. Turnover was a light 30.5 billion Hong Kong dollars (3.9 billion US dollars).
The upswing, which follows a long losing streak at the end of December, was led by Hong Kong-listed China shares, particularly China Mobile which rose on anticipation of the issuing of 3G licences by the Beijing government. (dpa)
