Hong Kong and Tokyo stocks rallied at the open Tuesday, with Hong Kong extending the previous day's surge of more than two percent, after another record lead from Wall Street as investors welcomed news the US and Mexico had agreed a revised NAFTA trade pact.

And the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index edged up 0.05 percent, or 1.39 points, to 2,782.29, while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, was marginally higher, inching up 0.34 points to 1,497.05.
