 HONG KONG, Dec 31 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks edged higher
on Monday in holiday-thinned trade, with much of the investment
community and many Asian markets ushering in the new year.
 The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI opened at 27,437.94, or
0.25 percent above Friday's close.
 The more volatile China Enterprises index of H shares
.HSCE, or Hong Kong-listed shares in mainland companies, was up
nearly 1 percent as of 0204 GMT.
