HONG KONG, Jan 4 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares could end a
two-day rally on Friday, tracking Wall Street weakness after
signs that the U.S. Federal Reserve has growing concerns about
its stimulative monetary policy.
Any losses could be limited if mainland China markets reopen
strongly on Friday, trading for the first day in 2013 after a
three-day New Year holiday.
On Thursday, the Hang Seng Index ended up 0.4 percent
at 23,398.6, its highest since June 1, 2011. The China
Enterprises Index of the top Chinese listings in Hong
Kong added 0.8 percent, reaching another peak since August 2011.
On the week, the indexes are up 3.2 and 5.5 percent,
respectively. The H-share index's relative strength index (RSI)
value suggests that it is now at its most overbought since
October 2010.
Elsewhere in Asia, Japan's Nikkei is up 3 percent in
its first trading session for the year, while South Korea's
KOSPI is down 0.4 percent at 0042 GMT.
