Hong Kong stocks opened slightly higher on Tuesday morning following a positive start to the week in New York as US treasury bond yields eased, tempering recent investor anxiety about a possible future hike in interest rates.

The Hang Seng Index edged up 0.4 percent to 29,008.

The Shanghai Composite Index ticked up 0.1 percent to 3,445, while the Shenzhen Composite Index inched down 0.1 points to 2,222. (AFP)
