Investing.com - Industrial production in China hit seven-month low in October while spending on infrastructure slowed, data on Wednesday showed.
The data added to signs that more stimulus may be needed to shore up growth in the world's second biggest economy.
Factory output grew at an annual rate of 5.6% in October, the weakest in seven months.
Fixed asset investment expanded 10.2% in the year to October, in line with expectations but the slowest pace since 2000.
But retail sales, a key gauge of consumer spending, held up well for the month, growing 11% from a year earlier.
