Hong Kong stocks rebounded to close the week in green as investor sentiment reflected optimism amid a surge in property sector sales.

The Hang Seng Index soared 0.49%, or 100.53 points, to close Monday's trade at 20,590.15. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index added 0.35%, or 26.12 points, to 7,385.26.
