Hong Kong's benchmark share index ended little changed on Friday but still posted its biggest weekly gain in six months as global investors' appetite for riskier assets improved despite expectations of further monetary tightening. The Hang Seng index ended up 0.1 percent at 24,309.93 points, after earlier hitting an intraday high of 24,385.81, the highest since August 2015. The Hong Kong China Enterprises Index lost 0.1 percent to 10,513.52. For the week, the HSI rose 3.1 percent, while the HSCE advanced 3.4 percent.
