Hong Kong stocks pocketed gains on Wednesday, rebounding from two-month lows in previous sessions, after data showed a slowdown in the decline of China's industrial profits.

The Hang Seng Index climbed 2.32%, or 443.93 points, to close at 19,603.13. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index rose 2.57%, or 175.84 points, to end at 7,027.40.

China's industrial profits fell 10% year over year in October, significantly narrowing from the 27.1% slump in September, according to data released by the country's statistics bureau.

In a statement, NBS statistician Yu Weining said profits in most industries improved compared with the previous month, with equipment and high-tech manufacturing contributing to the growth.
