China's Singles Day shopping festival is off to a record start. E-commerce giant JD.com says orders jumped nearly 60%, with shoppers up 40% from last year — defying concerns that deflation is weighing on consumer demand.

In the U.S., there's growing optimism the government shutdown will end soon. UBS Managing Director and Financial Advisor Xi Qiao tells Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong what that could mean for Asia.

Plus, the Dow Jones closed at a record high as investors piled into stocks beyond the AI giants. Merck was among the day's top gainers. We get perspective from Dean Smith, Chief Strategist and Marketing Officer at FolioBeyond.
