Hong Kong stocks seen up on overseas gains, inflows

HONG KONG, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares are set to rise
on Monday tracking firmer overseas markets with a persistent
inflow of funds supporting a further rise in the local market and
Chinese finance stocks expected to lead.

"Sentiment remains positive on a continuous inflow of funds,"
said Patrick Yiu, a director at CASH Asset Management, adding
that Chinese financial stocks may lead the rise.

The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI ended up 1.63 percent on
Friday at 21,829.72, its highest in more than a week.

STOCKS TO WATCH:

* Banks in China are expected to lend 8-9 trillion yuan
($1.2-$1.3 billion) in 2010, slowing a touch from this year's
likely new-loan total of 10 trillion yuan, Bank of Communications
(BoCom) said on Saturday. As for asset quality, BoCom (3328.HK: Quote, Profile, Research)
(601328.SS: Quote, Profile, Research) said system-wide non-performing loans (NPLs) would
remain steady; the NPL ratio might even fall because of growth in
outstanding loans. [ID:nPEK214189]
