Hong Kong stock market finished session higher on Wednesday, 28 April 2021, halting a two-day decline, as investors chased for bargain hunting in recently battered stocks, with Anta Sports leading rally on southbound fund buying.

The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index advanced 0.28%, or 31.23 points, to 11,014.69.
