On Market View, Sean Cheong speaks to Benjamin Goh, Head of Research and Investor Education at the Securities Investors Association (Singapore) to wrap up the week with a look at how markets have been navigating a mix of geopolitical tensions, economic signals and rising volatility.

The Straits Times Index ended the day flat at 4,848 points, and they assess how Singapore equities performed both today and over the week, including the stocks that are drawing investor interest on the Singapore Exchange. They also examine the sharp moves in the oil market, after West Texas Intermediate crude briefly climbed above US$80 a barrel following reports that Iran struck an oil tanker with a missile. Finally, with the CBOE Volatility Index climbing into the mid-20s and the S&P 500 swinging between gains and losses, they explore how investors can navigate the current market dilemma and what to watch in the week ahead.
