Hong Kong stocks ended higher Tuesday after both the U.S. and China agreed to extend a tariff truce and investors evaluated corporate earnings.

The Hang Seng Index rose 62.87 points, or 0.25%, to 24,969.68, while the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index gained 28.77 points, or 0.32%, to 8,916.85.

Beijing and Washington agreed to another 90-day truce that averts triple-digit tariffs. China on Tuesday suspended the 24% additional tariffs on some of the US imports for 90 days, while maintaining the additional 10% tariff rate.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump extended a truce on tariffs imposed against China for another 90 days. Washington's reciprocal 10% tariffs against China remain in effect even during the suspension of tariffs, set to last until Nov. 10.
