SHANGHAI'S key stock index reversed morning losses and ended higher today, thanks to rallies by steel and coal producers.

The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks the smaller domestic market, was up 0.73 percent to close at 892.23 points.
Shares opened lower after US markets ended their nine consecutive weekly gains and posted a loss last week across their three major indexes. But rallies of steel producers and nonferrous metal producers pushed the index up in the afternoon.
