Hong Kong stocks ended the week on a positive note on Friday, extending the previous day's rally as traders grow hopeful a drop in inflation could allow the Federal Reserve to ease back on its interest rate hikes.

The Hang Seng Index added 0.5 percent, or 93 points, to close at 20,175.

The Shanghai Composite Index edged down 0.2 percent, or 4 points, to 3,276, while the Shenzhen Composite Index eased 0.5 percent, or 9 points, to 2,207. (AFP)
