On Market View, Sean Cheong speaks with David Kuo, Co-founder of The Smart Investor, to unpack the key market moves shaping Asia and beyond. First up: Japan’s snap election and what a likely landslide victory could mean for the Japanese yen, broader export demand in Asia, and potential ripple effects for Singapore.
They also dive into Singapore’s market highlights, including DBS’s earnings report while looking ahead to UOB, OCBC, and SIA, which are all set to report later this month. From aviation to engineering, they examine ST Engineering’s record highs post-Singapore Airshow, the technical and fundamental setups for SIA, and other notable Singapore market movers.
Across the Pacific, they analyze last week’s chaos in US markets, from the Nasdaq’s struggles and a spike in the VIX, to Walmart crossing the $1 trillion mark as a "physical world" safe haven. Finally, they preview upcoming US earnings from Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Cisco, and discuss Giannis Antetokounmpo’s new ownership stake in Chelsea.
