Oil shocks, gold surges and a familiar tech giant's stumble - markets are suddenly on edge.
In this episode of Market View, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, we unpack the forces shaking global markets - from Sea Ltd’s earnings surprise and share price plunge to Singapore’s growing ambitions as a physical gold hub.
Gold prices are surging past historic levels as wealthy investors pile into safe havens and policymakers position Singapore as a regional bullion trading center.
Meanwhile, a widening Middle East conflict and the Strait of Hormuz blockade threaten global energy flows, pushing Brent crude above $81 and disrupting LNG supplies.
We also run through earnings movers including Target, Best Buy, Swiss sneaker maker On, DFI Retail Group and Wilmar International.
Plus: the next computing revolution may not be in your phone - tech giants like Qualcomm, Meta, Google and Apple are racing to build AI-powered wearables that blend seamlessly into everyday life.
Companies mentioned: Sea Ltd., Target, Best Buy, On Holding, DFI Retail Group, Wilmar International, ST Engineering, Keppel, CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, Qualcomm, Meta, Google, Samsung, Apple, OpenAI.
