Dating in 2026 has officially gone off the rails. On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh dive into China’s bizarre viral trend of referring your exes like job candidates, complete with ‘resumes’, pros and cons, and even user manuals for your former partners. 

But it doesn’t stop there. ChatGPT’s caricature trend is taking over social media, with everyone trying it and sometimes roasting themselves in ways they didn’t see coming. From painfully accurate job depictions to absurdly funny life quirks, no one is safe.

So, would you trust your ex or let AI spill all your secrets first?

On the local front, UOB takes the spotlight as we review its movements ahead of earnings later this month, alongside OCBC and DBS - the latter having logged two consecutive red sessions following its latest results.

From there, we turn to Singapore Airlines, which is also set to report on the 24th of February. SIA has enjoyed a strong run over the past 5-6 days, climbing nearly 5% and breaking out of a W-shaped formation on the charts. With momentum clearly improving, we discuss how the fundamentals stack up too, especially in light of the airline’s recently announced $500 million, 10-year bond issuance.

We then shift to Japan, where the Nikkei is staging a powerful bounce following election developments.

On Market View, Sean Cheong speaks to Willie Keng, Founder of The Dividend Titan, to discuss the latest market movements.
