Markets are rallying - but what does oil flashing over $100 indicate?

Geopolitics takes centrestage as Strait of Hormuz tensions escalate, with oil prices surging past US$100 and raising questions about whether this is strategy or shock.

We unpack the counterintuitive idea that higher oil prices could be a geopolitical tool - and what that means for China, inflation, and markets.

In stock focus, Amkor Technology rides the AI boom with ties to Apple and TSMC, while Wee Hur draws bullish calls from DBS.

Earnings season kicks off with Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, BlackRock and Netflix all in focus.

Corporate movers include Hermès, GSK and Olam, while the STI sees gains led by Singapore Exchange - hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.

Market View: Oil Blockade Shock, AI Chip Plays & Earnings Season - Amkor, Apple, TSMC in Focus

Could Wall Street be dramatically underestimating how much the world's biggest tech companies will spend on AI infrastructure?

Why are stocks like SanDisk and ASML soaring, and are we witnessing the early stages of a semiconductor supercycle?

Where are professional investors finding opportunities beyond Singapore's blue chips, and what does DBS see in Centurion?

And what can an AI prediction for the World Cup teach us about investing, probability and spotting opportunities before the crowd does?

Hosted by Michelle Martin.

What if a cancerous tumour could be destroyed without a single incision, stitch or scar?

A Singapore grandfather waiting for a liver transplant has become one of the first patients in Southeast Asia to undergo a breakthrough treatment called histotripsy - a technology that uses focused sound waves to destroy a liver tumour.

Could this be a glimpse into the future of medicine, where cancer treatment becomes less invasive?

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode explores the science, the human story and what innovations like histotripsy could mean for longevity and the future of cancer care. Send this episode onto someone who needs a boost of hope.

Guest: Prof Brian Goh, Head of Department of Hepato-pancreato-biliary and Transplant Surgery, SGH & NCCS, and Principal Investigator of the HALT Study.

The conversation begins with Elite UK REIT's inclusion under the CPF Investment Scheme and what that means for CPF investors.

Kenny Loh, REIT Specialist and Wealth Advisory Director, examines whether yields, lower interest rate expectations and valuations are creating a compelling opportunity.

We also examine why industrial REITs continue to demonstrate resilience and the return of acquisition activity across the REIT sector.

What are the S-REIT subsectors best positioned for growth? 

What risks investors should continue to monitor when thinking of investing in S-REITs with their CPF OA funds?
