Selling pressure rising: analysts

Worries center over next month's release of economic data of Q1 performance

The Chinese stock markets will be under mounting pressure to sell if key economic data to be released next month fails to meet investors' expectations and indicates rising inflation is imminent, analysts said.

The selling pressure comes after a robust rebound in the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index last week buoyed by positive signals from financial regulators that the market is stable and that overseas conditions have improved.
