HONG KONG, July 20 - Hong Kong shares will start 1.1 percent higher on Monday as solid earnings and housing data from the U.S. provided investors with an excuse to stretch the stocks rally into a fifth straight session.

The benchmark Hang Seng Index was up 199.53 points at 19,005.19, breaching the 19,000 points level for the first time in more than a month.

The China Enterprises Index, which represents top locally listed mainland Chinese stocks, will start 1.3 percent higher at 11,294.73.
