Hong Kong shares close morning higher in thin trade

Share prices closed a relatively rangebound morning session higher in thin trade, rebounding slightly from yesterday's heavy losses, although investors continued to exercise caution after a volatile session on Wall Street overnight, dealers said.

The Hang Seng index closed the morning up 33.17 points or 0.31% at 10,591.98, off a low of 10,529.92 and a high of 10,631.55, on turnover of just 2.933 billion hkd.
