China’s two inflation readings diverge
October consumer inflation slowed to 0.7% year over year from 0.9%, while producer inflation rose to 5.7% from 5.0%, according to the November 9 data. Consumer prices were unchanged month to month. Higher factory prices do not automatically translate into the same increase at the checkout.

UK hiring weakens as starting pay accelerates
The REC/KPMG survey put October permanent placements at 46.6, below September’s 50.9 and the 50 dividing line. Starting-pay growth accelerated. Interviews ran October 12–26, before the budget and latest Bank of England decision, so the survey cannot establish employers’ response to those later events.

Reuters reports that data-center developers are seeking refurbished gas turbines and converted jet engines as waits for new equipment stretch into 2030–31. Used machines may shorten delivery times, but maintenance history, servicing, permits and grid access still matter. Equipment demand is not proof that every announced project will be completed.

Agencies withdraw the $250 transfer proposal
FinCEN and the Federal Reserve’s November 9 notice withdraws a 2020 proposal to lower certain cross-border funds-transfer information thresholds from $3,000 to $250. The proposed digital-asset clarification is also withdrawn. Existing duties remain; comparable future changes would require another opportunity for public comment.
