Wealth Tracker:  What’s stopping Bitcoin from hitting the $100,000 mark?

As tensions flare in the Middle East, global oil markets are on edge. Here in Singapore, major players like Shell, Caltex, Esso and Sinopec have raised 95-octane prices to around $2.92 a litre.

Behind the spike? Growing fears that supplies could be disrupted through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints.

But this isn’t just a story for motorists. Singapore depends heavily on imported energy, especially natural gas and LNG, to keep the lights on and businesses running.

So could higher oil prices feed into broader inflation pressures? And for drivers, should we brace for even more pain at the pump in the days ahead?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Song Seng Wun, economic advisor at the SDAX investment platform, to find out more.

Markets bled red as the Straits Times Index (STI) slid to 4,812, with banks and blue chips, from DBS and UOB to Singtel and SIA, leading the losses. Over $3.6 billion in value changed hands, but confidence was harder to find.

On Market View, Sean Cheong speaks with Dan Chang of Philip Securities to break down what’s really driving the sell-off, and whether Singapore is more vulnerable than investors think if global tensions escalate further.

AI is everywhere, from trillion-dollar tech giants ramping up spending to Asian markets stepping up their role in the global supply chain. But with valuations stretched and volatility creeping back in, is it still about chasing the AI trade, or is it time to get more disciplined?

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Jason Kuan (CFA), Director, Investment Research and Advisory, Chief Investment Office, CIMB Singapore, to break down why quality large-cap tech still matters, where Asia fits into the next phase of growth, and how the “3Ds,” Discipline, Diversification and Derisking, could help investors build more resilient portfolios.
