0149 GMT — Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index rises 1.9% to 17703.15, buoyed by falling Treasury yields and gains in U.S. equity markets overnight. The bond markets have loosened their grip on market sentiment, while Wall Street has rebounded in an apparent short squeeze, says Matt Simpson, market analyst at City Index and Forex.com, in commentary. Among best performers on the benchmark index, JD Health International climbs 6.6%, Alibaba Health Information Technology adds 6.1% and New World Development is up 5.1%. The Hang Seng Tech Index rises 2.6% to 3876.02. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
