HONG KONG, Nov 25 (Reuters): Hong Kong shares erased earlier losses to end up 0.84 per cent Wednesday, led by insurers and consumer stocks, after the Shanghai market rose in a bout of late-session bargain-hunting.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index closed up 188.66 points at 22,611.80.
The China Enterprises Index of top locally listed mainland Chinese stocks rose 0.57 per cent to 13,446.09.
Bank of China continued to fall after possible capital-raising plans by lenders sparked fears of shareholder dilution.
