Hong Kong stocks rose for the sixth straight session to fresh 21-month highs on Monday, as investors shrugged off threats posed by a global cyber security attack, a missile test by North Korea and weak US data. Sentiment was aided by signs of steady money flows from mainland China, and stabilisation in the China market, where main stock indexes rebounded for the third straight day as the government moved to sooth market fears of tighter regulation.

The Hang Seng index rose 0.9 percent, to 25,371.59, while the China Enterprises Index gained 1.6 percent, to 10,450.35 points.
