China is preparing to announce new stimulus for its stumbling economy after the vast factory sector contracted for a fourth straight month, and a gauge of activity in its services sector slipped to a seven month low.

The Chinese government is holding a press conference at 3 a.m. ET in Beijing to discuss “measures to restore and expand consumption.” It will be attended by top economic officials and representatives of various ministries. The official manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index , which measures activity level in the manufacturing sector, came in at 49.3 in July, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Monday.

Consumer spending has weakened, the housing market has slumped, and the youth unemployment rate has soared to a fresh record of 21.3%. Much like many other parts of the world this summer, extreme weather has also posed a threat to economic growth. In recent weeks parts of China have been hit by a double whammy of heat waves and torrential rain, threatening to strain power supplies and disrupt factory production as well as crop yields.
