Hong Kong: Hong Kong shares jumped more than one percent on Monday as traders tracked a strong lead from Wall Street's record close last Friday, as attention turns to the Federal Reserve's upcoming policy meeting.

The Hang Seng Index rallied 1.27 percent, or 352.18 points, to end at 28,159.77.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index added 0.28 percent, or 9.24 points, to 3,362.86. The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, climbed 0.74 percent, or 14.75 points, to close at 2,002.74.
