Shanghai Composite and Hang Seng both rise

Comparing each index's September 29 and September 30 closes, the Shanghai Composite rose 0.31% and the Hang Seng Index gained 0.37%. Both rose while the S&P 500 fell. However, the performance of a single index is insufficient to represent every sector in its market.
