In the Spotlight: The world bids its final farewell to the Queen

US President Donald Trump is rolling out his latest global gambit: the “Board of Peace.” With an eye-popping $1 billion price tag for permanent seats and an invitation-only model, the initiative is already raising eyebrows.

Is it a genuine attempt to stabilize conflict zones like Gaza, or a bold move to sideline the United Nations and reshape global governance? Who stands to gain, and who might be left out?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Amin Saikal, Adjunct Senior Fellow at S.Rajaratnam School of International Studies, NTU, to find out more.

We explore what this $1B experiment could mean for diplomacy, global power, and the future of international institutions, and why countries like Singapore are reportedly still weighing whether to join.

All eyes are on Japan’s yen. 

The currency has been sliding to levels we haven’t seen in almost two years, edging close to the 160 mark against the US dollar. That’s putting policymakers on alert, with warnings about sharp, one-way moves and what they could mean for the wider economy.

So what’s behind this sustained weakness in the yen? And if the slide continues, how might it affect Japan, and ripple through global markets?

To unpack this, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Peter Chia, Senior FX Strategist at UOB, on Wealth Tracker.
