HONG KONG, March 6 (Reuters) - Shares of CK Hutchison 0001.HK were set to open up 2.9% in Hong Kong on Thursday, extending the previous day's 21.9% gain after the sale of its Panama Canal stake to BlackRock BLK.N.
U.S. President Donald Trump has hailed the deal led by U.S. firm BlackRock BLK.N to buy most of the $22.8 billion ports business of Hong Kong conglomerate CK Hutchison, including assets it holds along the Panama Canal.
