Hong Kong stocks opened higher Friday, extending their rally into a fifth day following another below-forecast US inflation reading that ramped up hopes of an end to the Federal Reserve's rate-hike drive.
The Hang Seng Index jumped 0.95 percent, or 184.20 points, to 19,534.82.
The Shanghai Composite Index edged up 0.14 percent, or 4.49 points, to 3,240.97, while the Shenzhen Composite Index on China's second exchange added 0.07 percent, or 1.54 points, to 2,060.54.
