China’s economy likely endured another month of weakness in August, with a slowdown in industrial output and investment offsetting a slight improvement in retail sales.
Official data due Monday will show factory production increased 5.6% in August from a year earlier, down from a 5.7% gain in the previous month, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey. Retail sales growth is expected to pick up slightly to 3.8% after the weakest gain all year, while fixed-asset investment probably had its slowest expansion in almost half a decade.
