Hong Kong  - Hong Kong stocks ended a two-day losing run Wednesday to climb by more than 2 per cent, ending the day back above the 13,000-point mark.

After losses of nearly 3 per cent on Monday and 0.7 per cent Tuesday, the blue-chip Hang Seng Index rose 287 points to end the day at 13,063.89.

The closing figure was 2.25 per cent higher than Tuesday's close. Turnover was a relatively low 36.4 billion Hong Kong dollars (4.69 billion US dollars).

Wednesday's rally was led by locally listed China stocks which performed strongly on indications that China's economic stimulus package may be beginning to shield it from the global slump. (dpa)
