HK stocks rise 0.26 pct on energy plays

HONG KONG, May 30 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks rose 0.26
percent on Friday, led by energy plays on lower oil prices and
after stronger-than-expected U.S economic growth data eased
worries about a recession.

The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI was set to open up 64.38
points at 24,448.37, helped by a near 3.1 percent rise in Sinopec
(0386.HK), Asia's top refiner.

The China Enterprises Index of Hong Kong-listed mainland
companies .HSCE, or H shares, rose 0.69 percent to 13,604.42.
