China stocks open up sharply as holiday rebound lifts sentiment

SHANGHAI, Jan 30 (Reuters) - China stocks opened higher on Monday after week-long Lunar New Year holidays as strong consumption and a rebound in travel during the break boosted investor sentiment.

"Thanks to the rapid transition to herd immunity and the release of pent-up demand, there has been a notable recovery in in-person services consumption during the week-long holiday," Nomura said in a note.

CSI 300 Index jumped more than 2%, and the Shanghai Composite Index gained 1.4%.

Meanwhile, the Hang Seng Index and the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index lost 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively, after two sessions of gains while Chinese markets were closed.
