China's luxury slump is spreading to more consumer brands. Companies like Starbucks, Estée Lauder, and Nike have reported falling sales in the region. It's hitting Western brands particularly hard, as reflected by companies across the consumer sector reporting muted sales in China in the most recent quarter. Consumer spending in China never fully recovered after the government started lifting COVID-19 curbs in late 2022.

Urolithin A supplement company Timeline has investments from both Nestlé and L'Oréal. This year, the conversation quickly turned to the supplement du jour, the compound that has drawn investment from both Nestlé and L'Oréal: Urolithin A. Starting in 2008, Rinch's supplement company, Amazentis, funded over a dozen studies on urolithin A, including some relatively large, placebo-controlled trials in people — a rarity in supplement research. Urolithin A has also captured the attention of longevity researchers, who are typically more skeptical about products promising to make you young again. Timeline was on the agenda at this year's ARDD, an annual longevity research conference held in Copenhagen in August.

Reddit acquired Memorable AI in August in a deal that valued the startup at just under $40 million, including performance-based earnouts. Memorable AI uses AI models to predict which images and videos will catch users' attention and encourage them to engage with an ad. Acevedo, a Memorable AI cofounder who had been the startup's CEO, now leads product for Reddit's new ads media intelligence team, which combines data on creative performance with the company's advertising AI models. Fosco, a fellow cofounder who had been Memorable AI's chief technology officer, leads engineering in the ads intelligence team. "The acquisition of Memorable AI, coupled with its focus on creative effectiveness, now gives Reddit the missing piece to continue improving performance for our advertisers," Fosco said.

European markets closed lower Wednesday as investors in the region focused on corporate reports and U.S. Treasury yields. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index provisionally closed around 0.3% lower, with most sectors and major bourses in the red. There were earnings aplenty on Wednesday, with Deutsche Bank beating expectations in its return to profit in the three months to September. Shares of the German lender continued their decline after a German court ruled against the company in a long-standing legal dispute with shareholders who alleged the lender underpaid in its acquisition of German retail bank Postbank. Volvo Cars traded 5.9% lower, AkzoNobel was down 3.5% and L'Oreal fell 2.5% after the firms reported earnings earlier.

The company gave vague forward guidance, and analysts on Wall Street say the country's recent stimulus won't be enough to reverse the weak demand. China's latest stimulus package, unveiled late last month, has aimed to prop up the country's weak consumer demand and struggling property sector.

☆ What office meltdown? Developers see a shortage of high-end space and are rushing to build it.

Much of the office market may be mired in a downturn, but demand has been strong for high-end space. New office construction has dropped off sharply, leading to a potential upcoming shortage. That demand has persisted even as office construction has been stifled by higher interest rates and inflation, which have pushed up costs. Worries over the health of the office market have also made lenders reluctant to finance new development. 8 million square feet of that is pre-leased, meaning that there is only about 10 million square feet of upcoming available top quality space.
