Market View: Ceasefire Relief, Robotaxi Rally & Blind Box Blowback

If you want to bank on the picks and shovels play behind the AI Capex spend, you need to understand growth drivers. 

Investors have been piling into semiconductors but what if you wanted to look beyond NVIDIA?

As computing demands grow, bottlenecks are springing up like traditional copper wiring slowing data transfers because of their heat constraints. 

Enter photonics: a whole field devoted to controlling photons or light.

We also ask What if the biggest AI winners aren’t the ones building it - but the ones powering it?

Michelle Martin explores the $700 billion AI infrastructure surge reshaping markets, from hyperscaler spending by Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta and Oracle to the hidden bottlenecks in power and data centres.

The conversation with Alvin Chow unpacks who really profits from this capex explosion.

Michelle and Alvin also explore OpenClaw, the open source viral AI agent phenomenon in China; if OpenClaw boosts productivity, which companies are set to benefit really?

Michelle Martin and Ryan Huang unpack how little-known players like Swarmer and Gecko Robotics are capturing market imagination despite thin revenues, signalling a shift where real-world deployment matters more than profits.

Hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, the conversation explores how rising oil prices are rippling across industries - from airlines raising guidance to ComfortDelGro passing on fuel costs to commuters.

The era of “set it and forget it” ETF investing is being challenged - are passive ETFs no longer enough?

Michelle Martin dives into the shifting ETF landscape with Aman Pujara, Director of Quantitative Research and Portfolio Construction at Syfe, as investors rethink the classic “VOO and chill” strategy.

Aman explains why active strategies are attracting a growing share of inflows and offering investors more flexibility.

The conversation also tackles the hidden opportunity costs of staying fully passive during turbulent markets and the fees involved in active ETF investing.

How investors can distinguish true active skill from trend-following products?
