Hong Kong Stocks Mixed

        0425 GMT Dow Jones] The Hang Seng Index is down 0.1% at 22813.21 as its biggest constituent HSBC (0005.HK) and conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa (0013.HK) go ex-dividend. H-shares rise 1% to 9978.88 recovering most of their losses of the past four days by noon with banks and energy stocks leading. Investors world-wide are reducing risk and wary about Thursday's PMI data from China, brokers say. They expect any rally to be short-lived. "Coupled with the weak performance of the U.S. markets Hong Kong stocks are expected to retreat with HSI testing 22750 points today," CFSG says. (gregor.hunter@wsj.com; Twitter: @gregorhunter)
