China and Hong Kong stocks experienced a rise on Friday, driven by encouraging developments in the property sector amid signs of economic recovery.

Despite the positive trend, concerns about the upcoming U.S. presidential election and its implications for Sino-U.S. trade policies limited gains. A focal point for investors next week will be China's legislative meeting.

At midday, key indexes saw increases: Shanghai Composite was up 0.6%, CSI300 rose 0.87%, and Hang Seng China Enterprises surged 1.82%. However, Shenzhen and tech-focused indexes showed declines. Housing prices in China increased rapidly in October, suggesting the impact of recent stimulus measures.
