HK Hot Stocks - Chinese airlines soar; HKEx falls

HONG KONG, Nov 17, 2008 (Reuters via COMTEX) --
Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index was
steady at 13,531.61 by 0211 GMT.
The China Enterprise Index of top locally mainland Chinese companies fell
0.7 percent to 6,975.37.
Here are some of the stocks on the move:
* Chinese airlines rallied on reports they may receive cash injections
from the state.
China Southern Airlines soared 16 percent and China Eastern Airlines gained
13 percent. The state parents of the two mainland carriers may get government
cash injections of $440 million each to cope with high costs and weak demand, an
official newspaper said on Monday.
Air China surged 10 percent. The nation's flag carrier is seeking a cash
injection from the government.
* Bourse operator Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing (HKEx) dropped 6.6
percent on concerns about its earnings outlook due to the sluggish local stock
market. HKEx last week reported lower July-Sept profit, its second quarterly
decline.
* CITIC Pacific fell 1.6 percent after the South China Morning Post
reported that the company had no immediate plans to sell assets to boost its
finances. The steel-to-property conglomerate last week was rescued by its parent
after incurring losses from foreign exchange trading.
* China Unicom fell 1 percent. The company said on Sunday a proposed
merger between China United Telecommunications Corp and China Network
Communications Group Corp would become effective in early January 2009, a move
to enhance management efficiency of the parent companies and further facilitate
integration between China Unicom and China Netcom. For statement please see

make a full provision for its exposure to HK$377 million worth of US dollars,
Euros and New Zealand dollar denominated bonds issued by two major banks in
Iceland with a post-tax impairment loss of HK$315 million.The bank said its loss
would not have any significant impact on its business. For statement please see

Featured White Papers

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
