HONG KONG, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks edged higher on Monday, helped by a rally in Shanghai as China skipped an expected interest rate rise, but the lowest turnover in 10 sessions suggested foreign investors were reluctant to aggressively chase gains on the mainland.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index <.HSI> rose 0.67 percent to 23,317.61. The China Enterprises Index <.HSCE> of top locally listed mainland companies rose 0.72 percent.
The Shanghai Composite Index <.SSEC> rose 2.88 percent, the biggest gain in two months, on relief the central bank held off on raising the benchmark interest rate despite inflation hitting a 28-month high. [ID:nTOE6BA009] (Reporting by Vikram Subhedar; Editing by Chris Lewis)
