Wealth Tracker: Why investors are eyeing APAC’s biotech hubs

On Apr 2, US President Donald Trump delivered his first prime-time address since the US-Israeli war in Iran erupted on Feb 28, claiming major military victories against Iran’s navy, air force, and missile capabilities.

Yet he offered no clear timeline for ending the conflict. With Trump’s approval rating at a low 36% and Iran’s enriched uranium still largely intact, questions linger: was this speech aimed at reassuring Americans, or boosting support ahead of the midterms?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr. Samir Puri, author of Westlessness and Visiting Lecturer in War Studies at King’s College London, to find out more.

The “Sell America” narrative has resurfaced amid rising geopolitical tensions and a more assertive US policy stance, but markets suggest a more nuanced reality.

US equities remain supported, Treasuries continue to attract demand, and foreign investors are still allocating into US assets.

Instead, the adjustment appears to be happening through the US dollar, while gold is gaining prominence as a key hedge against policy uncertainty and shifting global dynamics.

On The Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Arun Sai, Senior Multi-Asset Strategist at Pictet Asset Management, on why this may be less about exiting US markets and more about reducing USD exposure and building gold as a structural hedge.

What do laser-filled highways and your cringey teenage email have in common? They’re both trying to fix problems we didn’t think had solutions.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh head to China where drivers are being kept awake by full-on laser light shows on highways. Is it genius… or just dangerously distracting?

Then, we switch gears to something way more personal: your email address. After years of being stuck with usernames you’d never say out loud in a meeting, Gmail might finally let you change it, without losing your entire digital life.
