 HONG KONG, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks fell on Monday

Federal Reserve may have less scope to lower interest rates,
driving shares lower across the board.
 China Mobile (0941.HK) led the blue chips lower.
 The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI opened at 27,236.45,
down 1.2 percent.
 The China Enterprises index of H shares .HSCE, or Hong
Kong-listed shares in mainland companies, was down 1.4 percent as
of 0202 GMT.
