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.

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