Hong Kong stocks end at 18-month high, track mainland strength

Undated, Feb 20 (Reuters) Hong Kong stocks extended early gains and closed at a 18-month high on Monday, drawing strength from firm mainland stock and commodity markets.
The benchmark Hang Seng index added 0.5 percent, to 24,146.08 points, its highest close since Aug. 11, 2015, while the Hong Kong China Enterprises Index gained 0.8 percent, to 10,445.48 points.
Sentiment in the city was lifted by a strong mainland market, where blue-chips clocked their best single-day performance in six months after media reported pension funds might begin flowing into China's stock markets as early as this week.
