Hong Kong shares set to open up 0.11 percent
HONG KONG, June 5 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares were set to open 0.11 percent higher on Thursday after falling in two consecutive sessions, led by gains in refiner Sinopec Corp (0386.HK) on falling oil prices.
Sinopec was up 1.6 percent but offshore oil producer CNOOC dropped 2.1 percent as crude oil prices continued to slide after data showed a sharp rise in U.S.gasoline inventories.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI rose 27.28 points or to 24,150.53.
The China Entreprises Index .HSCE was 0.07 percent higher at 13,395.74.
