Markets are being jolted after the US moved to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, sending Brent and WTI sharply higher following failed talks between Washington and Tehran.

But here’s what’s really catching attention, beyond the headline rally, there are signs of a deeper strain, with a growing disconnect between what’s happening in the physical oil market and what’s being priced on financial screens.

So the question now: are markets underestimating the scale of this disruption?

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Gerald Gan, Chief Investment Officer at Reed Capital Partners, to find out more.

Wealth Tracker: Is $100 Oil just the beginning?

Indonesia’s rupiah has plunged to record lows against both the US dollar and Singapore dollar, sparking market anxiety, political backlash and a flood of viral memes online. While Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has sought to reassure the public that the country’s economic fundamentals remain strong, growing concerns over inflation, purchasing power and investor confidence are raising questions about the broader health of Southeast Asia’s largest economy.

So what’s really driving the rupiah’s sharp decline? How worried should ordinary Indonesians  and neighbouring countries like Singapore be about the potential economic ripple effects?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Adam Samdin from the Asia Macro team at Oxford Economics to break it all down.

For generations, Singaporeans were sold a familiar retirement formula: work hard, build your CPF, pay off your home, and your golden years would take care of themselves. But for many seniors today, that once-reassuring promise is starting to feel far less certain.

Are older Singaporeans now realising that retirement may be far more expensive than they ever imagined? And in a rapidly changing Singapore, is CPF still enough to offer genuine peace of mind? What does real retirement security actually look like today?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Patrick Chang, Author of 'Welcome Protirement: The Essentials A to Z', to find out more.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar dive into the never-ending battle that unites couples everywhere: housework. Inspired by a viral wedding in China where one newlywed couple literally stepped into a wrestling ring on their big day to decide who would be “exempt” from chores for life, we unpack just how far people are willing to go to settle the great domestic divide.

From body slams to laundry loads, this outrageous wedding stunt sparks a bigger conversation many households know all too well: what’s actually the fairest way to divide chores at home? Should it be 50-50, based on income, free time, or simply whoever complains less?
