The Hang Seng briefly popped above 30,000 after surrendering the level in January, the upside is impressive considering the trading link to mainland investors is shut for LNY. Mainland China's markets are up around 1.5%, data earlier showed that Chinese CPI fell, while PPI squeezed out a small gain, and aggregate financing and FDI both rose.
