What's Trending: Was Keanu Reeves really spotted in Thailand washing dishes?

Following the breakdown of rare high-level talks between Washington and Tehran, US President Donald Trump has unveiled a significant escalation: a naval operation aimed at restricting vessels linked to Iranian ports.

This development comes despite a ceasefire reached on April 8 intended to temporarily halt weeks of fighting. In remarks shared on social media, Trump framed the operation as an effort to secure the Strait of Hormuz, remove maritime threats, and guarantee uninterrupted global shipping, while also accusing Iran of leveraging its influence over the vital waterway.

As naval forces prepare to intercept ships in contested waters, questions are mounting over the risks of escalation. Could a response from Tehran push the situation beyond containment?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Malminderjit Singh, Founder and Managing Director of Terra Corporate Affairs, to find out more.

The Big Story: Why is Trump issuing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz that he says he wants reopened?

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.
