HONG KONG, Sept 17 (Reuters): Hong Kong's benchmark index closed higher for the first time in nine sessions on Wednesday, tracking gains in US markets on speculation the Federal Reserve would maintain a pledge on low rates when a two-day policy meeting ends later in the day.
Strength in China's top five banks also lent support to index gains, after media reports said the country's central bank is injecting a combined 500 billion yuan ($81.42 billion) of liquidity into these major lenders.
The Hang Seng Index ended up 1.0 per cent at 24,376.41 points.
