Hong Kong: Hong Kong stocks ended marginally higher on Tuesday, with profit-taking from a two-day rally tempering gains following a strong lead from Wall Street.

The Hang Seng Index added 0.05 percent, or 11.81 points, to 25,403.15.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.45 percent, or 13.73 points, to 3,061.95. The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, closed down 2.12 percent, or 38.75 points, at 1,789.47.
