China and Hong Kong stocks advanced on Thursday, with healthcare shares surging and technology stocks recovering some of their steep losses from the previous session, as broader gains across Asian markets helped restore investor sentiment, Reuters reported.
China’s blue-chip CSI300 index rose 0.2% by the lunch break, after tumbling 3% on Wednesday. The Shanghai Composite gained 0.3%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index climbed 1.5% following a largely flat session a day earlier.
