Hong Kong shares rise

Hong Kong shares finished higher on Friday, in line with regional markets, as softer US inflation numbers eased global worries of faster rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, boosting appetite for equities.
The Hang Seng index rose 1.0 percent, to 31,122.06, while the China Enterprises Index gained 0.9 percent, to 12,345.30 points.
The Hang Seng Index ended the week 4 percent higher, its best performance since mid-February.
The index measuring price differences between dual-listed companies in Shanghai and Hong Kong stood at 122.39. A value above 100 indicates Shanghai shares are pricing at a premium to shares in the same company trading in Hong Kong, and vice versa.
