U.S. inflation data for October drops on Thursday

CPI figures for October are scheduled for release on Thursday; keep an eye on the data to see if the Fed's rate hikes are beginning to taper prices.

The Fed has continued its hawkish stance, while allowing that the pace of interest rates may slow. Inflation was hot in September, rising by 0.4% month-on-month and 8.2% year-on-year.

Americans will have cast their votes in the midterm elections by the time U.S. inflation data drops.

More and More People Are Using Xiaohongshu as an AI Incubator

"More and more people are turning Xiaohongshu into an AI incubator," observes an article exploring a shift in China’s tech innovation landscape. The AI wave is no longer dominated by experienced tech experts; instead, young people—often with humanities backgrounds, and increasingly Gen Z or even younger—are driving creativity. This reflects a broader trend: AI is transforming entrepreneurship from a capital-heavy, top-down model into a lightweight, accessible process. The rise of "AI Native" creators was highlighted at a recent Xiaohongshu hackathon, where diverse teams showcased projects targeting highly specific, everyday problems—from AI-generated PPT improvements to brain-controlled wheelchairs and apps that simplify communication with hairstylists. The winning project, "Pocket Guitar," offers a portable, user-friendly music tool that mimics real guitar playing. These innovators embrace a "Build in Public" approach: they share ideas, progress, and failures openly on Xiaohongshu, turning development into a collaborative, community-driven process. This method helps validate demand, recruit team members, and grow user bases organically. For instance, one 23-year-old founder assembled a distributed team through technical discussions on the platform, while a 13-year-old award winner used AI to learn coding and solve real-world problems. Two key factors enable this movement: AI democratization (lowering technical barriers) and the power of social communities (enabling open collaboration and instant feedback). Xiaohongshu, originally a lifestyle and shopping guide platform, has thus evolved into a vital innovation infrastructure. It connects creators with real user needs, facilitates low-cost prototyping, and fosters a culture of co-creation. This shift signals a new era of innovation—defined not by grand narratives and scale, but by granular insights, individual creativity, and trust-based community support. Xiaohongshu’s role is expanding from answering "what to buy" to "what to create," positioning it as a potential "App Store for the AI era."
