HONG KONG (Dow Jones)--Hong Kong shares rose 0.2% in Friday's half-day session on expectations of an improving economic outlook, and finished 5.3% higher for the full year.
The blue-chip Hang Seng Index rose 36.11 points to 23,035.45 on the last day of the year after trading between 23,012.50 and 23,102.05. It rose 0.9% in the three and a half trading sessions this week, as the stock market was closed Monday for the Christmas holiday.
Market volume totaled HK$30.22 billion.
The Hang Seng Index started the year at 21,823 and peaked for the year at 24,964 on Nov. 8. Its lowest level came May 25, when the index dipped to 18,985.
Analysts said they expect the benchmark index to find support at 23,000 next week due to the improving global economic outlook, but trading will be thin in the absence of a catalyst.
"The stock market should be buoyed at the start of 2011 as overall trading sentiment is positive," said Thomas Chan, managing director at brokerage Able Alliance.
Coal producer Yanzhou Coal rose 1.3% to HK$23.75 after it said Thursday its board approved a plan to inject CNY5.9 billion into its Australian unit and it aims to list the unit in Australia by the end of 2012.
"A separate listing of its Australian unit could be good news, as investors think the unit may have more investment plans ahead," said Sun Hung Kai Financial analyst Daniel So.
He added the company isn't likely to post further significant gains in the near term as investors remain concerned about the effect of the government's cap on coal prices on coal companies' earnings prospects.
Yanzhou Coal's gains also helped boost other coal firms. China Coal advanced HK$1.0% to HK$12.14, and China Shenhua rose 0.8% to HK$32.60.
Conglomerate Citic Pacific ended 1.7% higher at HK$20.20, extending its 1.5% rise Thursday, after its chairman, Chang Zhenming, was appointed chairman of the company's state-controlled parent Citic Group on Wednesday.
Blue-chip retailer Belle rose 1.2% to HK$13.14 due to bargain hunting after falling 8.1% since the start of December because of profit-taking ahead of the holiday season, a trader said.
Railway and port builder China Communications Construction advanced 3.0% to HK$6.80, after it said Friday it plans to list shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange to raise funds for further expansion and acquisitions.

DJ Singapore Shares End Lower On Year-End Profit Taking
SINGAPORE (Dow Jones)--Singapore's shares fell sharply in the closing moments of a truncated trading day on Friday, with last minute profit-taking removing some of the sheen from the benchmark index's 10.1% gain in 2010.The 30-share Straits Times Index closed 0.7% lower, or 22.42 points, at 3,190.04 as some traders cashed in on the sharp gains made by the benchmark during the week.Volume in the shortened day was 667 million shares, down from Thursday's 1.12 billion shares Gainers, however, outnumbered losers 205 to 178, suggesting positive sentiment in the broad market.Most analysts expect 2011 to be another positive year for stocks, though the strong rise this year has left little room for any spectacular gain.ComfortDelGro was the biggest loser on the 30-STI, shedding 1.9% to end the day at S$1.55, giving up gains made earlier this week.Container shipper Neptune Orient Lines fell 1.8% to S$2.18, another stock that gave up its gains from earlier in the week.Rig builder Keppel Corp., which expects orders to increase in 2011 as rising crude oil prices spur investment in oil exploration, was among the notable shares that ended in positive territory. It gained 0.7% to S$11.32.Wilmar, which was punished by the markets in the last two weeks for its foray into the real estate sector, closed unchanged on Friday at S$5.63, perhaps signifying that it may have found its floor.The world's biggest palm oil trader by volume has fallen 4.9% since Dec. 21, when it first unveiled its entry into China's property market with Kerry Properties and Shangri-la Asia, a move which analysts said would divert the company's management from its core business."Operational and execution risks from the property ventures are likely to be minimal due to the strength of Wilmar's joint venture partners," said AmResearch, which has a Buy call with a S$7.60 target on the stock. -By Gaurav Raghuvanshi; Dow Jones Newswires; +65 64154 154; [email protected]

楼主
也请各位前辈多多赐教！
大家happy new year ar!!
其实心里还蛮复杂的，一方面不希望她上太快，因为我会来不及趁低价继续吸购聚票，也担心上得快跌得也重的隐忧
；而另一方面也希望她尽快回到应有的股价表现，所以看着她这两天的走势，自己也还没决定举措，还蛮无奈的
个人觉得如果新年开市继续保持高成交量的话，我也要行动了，免得越买越高，到时如果飙高我又会少赚了
此外也会密切留意公司发布的消息，来决定攻略
祝大家新年大赚
HUAT AR!
