Market View: Doughnuts, Cameras, and Cloud Kings — What’s Driving Tesla, Google, and the Meme Frenzy

Cheap mortgages, a flood of resale flats, and a widening condo price gap - is 2026 the year to buy, sell, or refinance your property?

Michelle Martin explores Singapore’s unusual property moment and what it might mean for you.

Daniel Sim, Founder, Golden Goose Properties and Michelle unpack whether owners should sell ahead of rising competition, refinance their loans while rates are low, or upgrade to private property.

Could ripple effects could extend into executive condominiums and resale condos as more homeowners consider upgrading?

With new launch prices climbing and the gap with resale condos approaching 50%, buyers and sellers face a complex set of decisions.

We also explore what Singaporeans who bought overseas property should do if those investments are underperforming in today's market.

Money and Me: The MOP Wave - Property Opportunity or Warning Sign?

Oil above $100, war in the Middle East, and AI spending from Big Tech are colliding to reshape the global market outlook.

On this episode of Market View, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, we unpack how the Iran conflict and disruption in the Strait of Hormuz are pushing oil prices sharply higher and unsettling investors worldwide.

Brent crude’s surge toward US$103 is raising fresh inflation fears just as the U.S. Federal Reserve prepares for a key rate decision.

Closer to home, the ripple effects could hit Singapore’s REIT sector, which faces pressure from rising financing costs and property valuation risks.

Meanwhile, corporate headlines span Meta’s AI-driven layoffs, Berkshire Hathaway’s buyback signals, and Singtel’s ambitious US$250 million AI investment fund.

We also check in on the STI movers, with Wilmar International surging while ST Engineering and Yangzijiang Shipbuilding face selling pressure.

Are investors focusing too much on headline DPU when evaluating Singapore REITs?

Michelle Martin examines why the familiar distribution-per-unit number may not tell the full story.

In this episode of Money and Me, we explore whether investors should shift their focus from the quantity of distributions to the quality and sustainability behind them.

REIT specialist and Wealth Advisory Director Kenny Loh introduces a new framework - the Management Efficiency Index (MEI) - meant to help investors evaluate how effectively REIT managers generate and protect long-term income.

The conversation also unpacks the risks behind 100% payout strategies, accounting optic moves, and the impact of management fees paid in units.

With AGM season approaching, Kenny shares the key questions retail investors should ask management teams to better understand the resilience of distributions.

Any investor heading to a REIT AGM would benefit from knowing the right questions to ask to dive beyond the numbers to get at management "sweat equity".
