SHANGHAI'S key stock index extended its rally today to a three-month high amid optimism that October data to be released on Wednesday will show continued improvement in China's economy.

The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks the smaller domestic market, was up 0.6 percent to close at 1,130.57 points.
"The growth of gross domestic product, consumer price index, producer price index and other economic data for the past month will highlight the further improvement of the country's economic condition," China International Capital Corp wrote in a research note. "And this will bolster up the A share market."
Analysts also expected that stimulus measures for the automobile and property industries, due to expire in December, will continue next year and shore up these sectors.
