Hong Kong stocks may open higher after data showed that manufacturing rose further in November month-on-month, adding another proof that the Chinese economy is bottoming out.
The November Purchasing Managers Index released by China's statistic bureau rose to 50.6 from 50.2 in October. "We expect improving fundamentals including rising PMI and earnings growth to support prices of China-related stocks, commodities and currencies," Lu Ting, Bank of America-Merrill Lynch economist, said in a note to clients.
On Friday, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index closed up 0.23 points, or 0.02 per cent, to close at 1,416.18. The Nasdaq Composite lost 1.79 points, or 0.06 per cent, to 3,010.24. In London, the FTSE-100 Index lost 3.48 points, or 0.06 per cent, to end at 5,866.82.
