HONG KONG, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks rose for a sixth successive session on Wednesday as a rally in local property developers and index heavyweight HSBC Holdings Plc <0005.HK> offset a broad weakness in resources counters.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index <.HSI> closed up 0.38 percent at 23,757.82 on strong volume as a 2.4 percent rise in HSBC helped the index shrug off a weak day on mainland bourses.
