US bank earnings take centrestage as Citigroup, Bank of America and Wells Fargo open their books, revealing a split between headline beats and sharp market reactions.

Citigroup posts stronger-than-expected earnings despite a costly exit, while Bank of America delivers hefty profits - yet both stocks slide.

Wells Fargo disappoints, with severance costs dragging results and shares taking the biggest hit of the day.

Financials lead US markets lower, pulling the S&P 500, NASDAQ and Dow into the red after record highs.

In UP or DOWN, we unpack China’s record trade surplus, silver mining stocks surging past the US$90 mark, DBS unlocking S$1 billion in AI value, and YZJ Maritime expanding its fleet.

And in The Last Word, from earnings to emotions - we ask whether a globalised K-pop industry is finally ready to let its biggest stars fall in love, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.
