Hong Kong shares finished with healthy gains Tuesday following a recent sell-off as investors were cheered by vaccine progress and falling infection rates, though inflation worries continue to niggle.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.17%, or 6.09 points, to 3 636.36, while the Shenzhen Composite Index on China's second exchange eased 0.85%, or 20.65 points, to 2 396.01.
