HONG KONG/SHANGHAI, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares
climbed on Friday, spurred by gains on Wall Street and
encouraging U.S. data, while shares in Shanghai hit a three-month
closing high on optimism about the domestic economy.

China's key stock index closed up 0.28 percent and posted its
best weekly rise in more than three months, on expectations that
easier monetary policy would remain.

In Hong Kong, the benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI closed up
1.63 percent, or 350.64 points, at 21,829.72, its highest in more
than a week. For the week, the index was up 0.35 percent,
rebounding from the previous week's 3.7 percent drop.

Turnover rose to HK$64.43 billion ($8.3 billion from HK$60.77
billion on Thursday.

"It's a straight forward follow-through on Wall Street," said
Howard Gorges, managing director at South China Financial. "The
pressures came off regarding interest rates after the Fed meeting
and we have had good economic data recently in the U.S."

The market may extend gains next week, Gorges added.

"The last couple of weeks, we've been in a dead end, and now
we can start to break out. Provided nothing big shakes the
market, next week we could break the 22,000 level," he said.

Greens Holdings (1318.HK: Quote, Profile, Research) ended up 12.3 percent on its
trading debut, the third company to rise on its first trading day
this week after Chinese developer Evergrande Real Estate
(3333.HK: Quote, Profile, Research) and fashion retailer Trinity (0891.HK: Quote, Profile, Research).

percent as investors pocketed recent gains,

Manulife Financial Corp (MFC.TO: Quote, Profile, Research) (0945.HK: Quote, Profile, Research) lost 3.08 percent.
North America's largest life insurer said it had a loss of C$172
million ($162 million) in the third quarter. [ID:nN049268]

Bank of East Asia (0023.HK: Quote, Profile, Research) was up 2.68 percent. The lender
rose 3.33 percent on Thursday after a newspaper report that Guoco
Group (0053.HK: Quote, Profile, Research) raised its stake in the bank to 8.01 percent from

Local developers rose after a sell-off in recent sessions on
concerns Hong Kong may adopt measures to cool property prices,
crimping profit. Sino Land (0083.HK: Quote, Profile, Research) was up 3.39 percent.

The China Enterprise Index .HSCE of top locally listed

SHANGHAI AT THREE-MONTH HIGH

The Shanghai Composite Index .SSEC ended at 3,164.037
points, climbing for a sixth session in a row and gaining 5.6
percent for the week.

Gaining Shanghai A shares outnumbered losers by 513 to 348,
while turnover picked up to a seven-week high of 181 billion yuan
($26.51 billion) from Thursday's 155 billion yuan.

The index's strong performance this week was driven by
expectations for robust October economic data, due for release
next week, and a solid earnings outlook at listed companies.

The U.S. Federal Reserve's decision on Wednesday to leave
rates at low levels for an extended period bolstered hopes that
China would be cautious about raising rates.

"The Fed's stance that there would not be any rate increase
soon assured investors that most central banks would not rush to
exit from their loose monetary policies," said Wen Lijun, analyst
at Nanjing Securities.

Unexpectedly strong earnings at listed Chinese companies have
spurred analysts to raise their profit forecasts, creating room
for a rise of about 15 percent in the index over the next three
months. [ID:nSHA122035]

The main index could face pressure from profit-taking early
next week after its prolonged rise, Wen said.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index remains high at 60.4, near
the overbought mark at 70.

Daqin Railway (601006.SS: Quote, Profile, Research), one of the 10 most-actively traded
shares in Shanghai, rose 4.51 percent to 11.35 yuan before it was
suspended from trade in the afternoon pending an important
announcement. It has gained 16.4 percent this week on speculation
that it would receive an asset injection, analysts said.

property developer, gained 2.80 percent to 12.10 yuan after its
property sales in October soared. [ID:nSHA127237]

Two new shares made firm debuts in Shenzhen: Jiangsu Yanghe
Brewery Joint-Stock 002304.SZ gaining 47 percent from its IPO
price to 87.91 yuan, while Wuhan Langold Real Estate 002305.SZ
jumped 72 percent to 21.16 yuan.

Shares of companies based on China's southern island of
Hainan outperformed after the official China Securities Journal
reported that a plan to develop international tourism on the
island may soon get approval. Hainan Expressway 000886.SZ
jumped by its 10 percent daily limit to 5.48 yuan.
