HONG KONG/LONDON - HSBC reported on Monday its first-half pretax profit rose 15.9% and announced a further buyback of $1 billion, defying some analysts’ expectations it might pause its strategy of returning extra capital to investors. Europe’s biggest bank by assets reported a pretax profit for the first six months of $12.41 billion, up from $10.71 billion in the same period a year earlier.
