US President Donald Trump is rolling out his latest global gambit: the “Board of Peace.” With an eye-popping $1 billion price tag for permanent seats and an invitation-only model, the initiative is already raising eyebrows.

Is it a genuine attempt to stabilize conflict zones like Gaza, or a bold move to sideline the United Nations and reshape global governance? Who stands to gain, and who might be left out?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Amin Saikal, Adjunct Senior Fellow at S.Rajaratnam School of International Studies, NTU, to find out more.

We explore what this $1B experiment could mean for diplomacy, global power, and the future of international institutions, and why countries like Singapore are reportedly still weighing whether to join.

The Big Story: Trump's 'Board of Peace' - Can $1B buy a seat above the UN & form a new world order?

All eyes are on Japan’s yen. 

The currency has been sliding to levels we haven’t seen in almost two years, edging close to the 160 mark against the US dollar. That’s putting policymakers on alert, with warnings about sharp, one-way moves and what they could mean for the wider economy.

So what’s behind this sustained weakness in the yen? And if the slide continues, how might it affect Japan, and ripple through global markets?

To unpack this, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Peter Chia, Senior FX Strategist at UOB, on Wealth Tracker.

Wealth Tracker: Is the Yen in a free fall

Singapore shares inched higher today, tracking a positive session seen on Wall Street overnight.

The Straits Times Index was up 0.44% at 4,830.89 points at 11.48am Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$853.16M seen in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch, we have Info-Tech Systems, after the software provider said yesterday that it expects to report a “considerable increase” in its consolidated net profit for FY2025, compared with the full-year ended Dec 31, 2024. 

Elsewhere, from how US President Donald Trump retreated from using threats of force as an option for acquiring Greenland and what that means for markets, to how South Korea’s stock benchmark topped 5,000 points for the first time, more international headlines remained in focus.

Also on deck, Toku’s IPO on the Singapore Exchange, and Netflix’s offer to buy Warner Bros.

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian dived into the details with David Chow, Director, Azure Capital.
