About Jinshi Data

Jinshi Data

Jinshi Data, published at jin10.com and widely known simply as Jin10, is a Chinese financial flash-news service based in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. Founded in 2013, it was built on the model of the fast news wire: short, time-stamped alerts on macroeconomic developments, central banks, commodities and markets, published around the clock as events happen rather than gathered into finished articles hours later. In Chinese financial media, a citation to Jinshi Data — usually shortened to "according to Jin10" — has become a standard way of attributing a breaking market fact, and the service's app became one of China's most-used retail trading-news tools. Its official website is jin10.com, and its directory record lists its home city as Guangzhou in Guangdong province.

Founding in Guangzhou in 2013

Company profiles of Jin10 consistently record the same basic facts: the service was founded in 2013 and is based in Guangzhou. The timing placed its launch in the period when Chinese retail trading was moving decisively onto smartphones and when demand was growing for the kind of continuous, machine-paced market alerts that institutional traders had long received from international wires. The place matters as well. Guangzhou is the commercial capital of Guangdong, China's most populous province and a historic trading centre, and Jin10 grew up there as a specialist data-and-news company rather than as the digital arm of a newspaper or broadcaster. Unlike many Chinese finance brands in this directory, Jinshi Data has no print ancestor: it was a digital-native wire from the start, and its identity — the Jin10 name, drawn from its jin10.com domain — was formed entirely around the flash-news product.

The flash-news model

Jinshi Data's defining editorial form is the flash: a very short news item, often only a sentence or two, published within moments of an announcement, a data release or a market movement, and arranged in a continuously scrolling chronological feed. Chinese coverage routinely labels this format "7x24h news", and roundups of Jin10's output are published under exactly that heading — one English-language roundup of its Saturday highlights, for example, is headed "7x24h News" and moves in a few paragraphs from an Apple supply-chain report to a Chinese market-regulator decision, a National Development and Reform Commission statement and a Reserve Bank of India measure. That sequence illustrates the model precisely: the unit of publication is not the article but the alert, the feed never closes, and domestic Chinese policy news and international market news appear in the same stream, in the order in which a trader needs to see them.

Macroeconomic and central-bank coverage

The beats at the centre of Jin10's feed are macroeconomic data and central banks. Its alerts carry the scheduled releases and policy statements that move prices across asset classes — inflation and activity data, monetary-policy decisions and the speeches and minutes that surround them — from China and from the major economies whose decisions affect Chinese markets. The service's name appears in English-language market coverage precisely in this role: reports on a Federal Reserve pause attributed their characterisation of the decision to Jin10, and cryptocurrency and finance outlets relaying Chinese tax-policy reporting credit "Jinshi" with relaying a Financial Times account of guidance on taxing overseas investment income. Central-bank and macroeconomic copy is the core of the wire because it is the material its trading audience must receive first; commentary and explanation can follow, but the alert itself is the product.

Commodities and markets alerts

Alongside macro and policy news, Jinshi Data covers commodities and market movements with the same flash treatment. Company announcements, exchange notices and price-sensitive corporate disclosures pass through the feed in abbreviated form: English-language flash-news services relaying Chinese market news credit Jin10 for items such as a Guangzhou Port announcement of its expected container and cargo throughput, a listed company's notice of abnormal share-price fluctuations under Shenzhen Stock Exchange rules, and statistical releases such as an artificial-intelligence token price index. The breadth is deliberate. A retail trader following gold, oil, equities or digital assets from a phone in China needs one stream in which a port's throughput estimate, a central-bank statement and a commodity-relevant supply report arrive in the same format and at the same speed, and Jin10's coverage is organised to provide exactly that single stream.

The app and the retail trading audience

Jinshi Data's reach was built through its app. Chinese app-industry coverage describes the Jin10 application as one of the country's most-used tools for retail trading news, and the clean directory profile records the same conclusion: the app became one of China's most-used retail trading-news tools. The fit between product and audience is straightforward. Flash news is a mobile genre — an alert is worth most in the minutes after it is published, and it is consumed in fragments between other tasks, on trading days and outside market hours alike. By putting a 24-hour wire into an app, Jin10 placed itself in the daily routine of individual investors and traders who follow macroeconomic releases and commodity markets closely but do not sit at an institutional terminal. Its Guangzhou base notwithstanding, its audience is national and, through the traders who follow Chinese-language market news, effectively global.

A source that other outlets cite

The clearest measure of Jinshi Data's position is how often other publications cite it as their source. Across English-language finance and cryptocurrency media, the formula "according to Jin10" or "according to Jinshi Data" recurs constantly: Binance's news square credited Jin10 when reporting that China's weight in the FTSE World Government Bond Index had risen to 11.9 percent in a September index profile, making it the second-largest government bond market in the index after the United States, based on information from FTSE Russell; technology and finance newsletters reproduce Jin10's own digests of overnight developments; and specialist outlets attribute data points on subjects from port throughput to AI computing prices to Jinshi Data reports. This citing behaviour is the signature of a wire. Jin10 is frequently not the final destination for a market fact but the channel through which the fact first travelled, and downstream outlets name it the way newspapers once named the agency whose copy they were using.

Place among Chinese financial information services

Jinshi Data occupies a distinct niche among Chinese financial media. The large portals — Eastmoney, Hexun, Stockstar and their peers — combine news with quotes, forums, fund sales and brokerage services, and the big general portals carry finance as one channel among many. Jin10, by contrast, is a specialist: a single-purpose, speed-first information service whose brand rests on being early and comprehensive rather than on analysis or community. Its closest functional relatives are the flash feeds of other Chinese financial outlets, but its independent identity, its widely installed app and its status as a named source in other outlets' copy give it a standing of its own. It also illustrates a broader shift in Chinese financial journalism since the early 2010s: the centre of gravity moving from long articles on portal homepages to short, structured, continuously updated data-news streams designed for traders first and readers second.

Standing and significance

Jinshi Data's significance lies in the role it came to play in the plumbing of Chinese market information. Founded in Guangzhou in 2013 as a fast-wire service modelled on 24-hour alert feeds, it grew through its app into one of the most-used sources of trading news for Chinese retail investors, and its flashes on macroeconomic data, central banks, commodities and markets became raw material for the wider financial press — cited by name in outlets ranging from global cryptocurrency platforms to Chinese technology newsletters. For researchers and journalists tracing where a Chinese market fact came from, "Jin10" in a citation is often the answer. The service remains published at jin10.com, and its directory record, listing it under Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, captures a company that built a national financial brand out of a single discipline: publishing the news the moment it happens.
