Hang Seng ends 0.79% higher

Hong Kong share market closed modestly higher in volatile trade on Tuesday, 13 January 2015, as better-than-forecast Chinese trade data offset continued losses on Wall Street and a further slide in the price of oil. The benchmark index opened 118 points lower but gradually recovered its lost ground after China said its exports grew nearly 10% last month. The Hang Seng Index ended 189.51 points, or 0.79%, up at 24215.97, off an intra-day high of 24254.11 and low of 23908.23. Turnover reduced to HK$84.85 billion from HK$90 billion on Monday.
