War rhetoric, surging oil and AI spending are colliding - and markets are trying to figure out what breaks first.

In this episode of Market View, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, we unpack how mixed signals from U.S. President Donald Trump on the Iran conflict are rattling investors and pushing Brent crude toward the US$100 mark.

We explore what 50 years of oil shocks teach us about the two signals markets really watch during geopolitical crises.

Strategist Ed Yardeni warns the odds of a U.S. market meltdown could rise to 35% if the Iran conflict escalates - but is that too pessimistic?

Meanwhile, the AI infrastructure race intensifies as Oracle builds massive data centers financed by heavy borrowing.
