Hong Kong stocks rebounded to start the week in green as tech firms led the rally and the prospect of controlled tariffs from the US eased investor concerns.
The Hang Seng Index rose 0.91%, or 215.84 points, to end at 23,905.56. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index added 1.24%, or 108.25 points, to 8,850.69.
The rally was led by tech firms booking substantial gains on Monday.
