SHANGHAI'S key stock index advanced yesterday to close at the highest level in more than two months, lifted by the financial sector and metal producers and on hopes that macroeconomic data will reinforce signs of an economic recovery.

"It is pretty sure that the index will remain above 3,000 points in the near future and may likely climb even higher after macroeconomic figures are announced on Thursday," Guoyuan Scurities wrote in a research note.
