Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:BABA) shares are trading lower Monday after Chinese factory and retail sales data missed estimates, which has caused concerns of an economic slowdown. China's central bank cut key rates following the data.

In response to the worse-than-expected data, China’s central bank cut one-year and seven-day lending rates by 10 basis points, according to a Bloomberg report.

"The rate cut shows the entire economy is in trouble," ING Groep NV's Iris Pang reportedly said.

Alibaba operates China's online marketplaces, including Taobao (consumer-to-consumer) and Tmall (business-to-consumer).
