Stocks

   
 HONG KONG, May 28 (Reuters) - Here are some stocks on the
move in Hong Kong on Wednesday.
 As of 0216 GMT, the blue-chip Hang Seng Index .HSI had
edged up 0.02 percent to 24,282.69.
 The China Enterprises Index of Hong Kong-listed mainland
companies .HSCE, or H shares, was up 0.31 percent at 13,371.47.
   STOCKS ON THE MOVE:
  * GOME Electrical Appliances Holding Ltd 2932.HK, China's
top electronics retailer, rose 4.44 percent to HK$4.47 after it

 * Chinese oil and gas producer CNOOC (0883.HK) fell 3.48
percent to HK$14.46 on lower oil prices. Oil fell $4 to $128 a
barrel on Tuesday, pulled down by the stronger U.S. dollar and
concerns that moves to cut Asian fuel subsidies could hurt demand
growth.

benefits from lower oil prices, gained 2.82 percent to HK$7.30.
China's flag carrier Air China (0753.HK) gained 2.57 percent to
HK$5.59, also on the back of lower oil prices.
 * Wing Hang Bank (0302.HK) climbed 6.16 percent to HK$112.00
