- China's manufacturing and services sectors showed signs of modest growth last month, though not enough to dispel fears about a downhill slide of the world's second largest economy.
- China's official manufacturing PMI came in at 50.1 in April, unchanged from March, in another sign the country is struggling to maintain momentum.
- The non-manufacturing sector remained above the 50 level but its expansion rate slowed to 53.4 from 53.7 last month.
- The readings come after China's weak performance in the first quarter. GDP grew 7% on year, the slowest pace since the first quarter of 2009.
- Chinese markets are closed today for Labor Day.
