Hong Kong stocks rise, but China's earthquake weigh

HONG KONG, May 13 (Reuters) - Hong Kong blue chips rose on
Tuesday, led by heavyweight HSBC Holdings (0005.HK: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) after it
posted better-than-expected results, but several companies which
are based in China's Sichuan province have suspended trading
after a massive earthquake there.

The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI opened up 0.51 percent
at 25,190.18 points. The China Enterprises Index of Hong
Kong-listed mainland companies .HSCE, or H shares, had fallen
0.42 percent to 13,604.87 by 0204 GMT.
