Market View: The Debasement Trade and Hong Kong’s $14B Bet

What if inflation isn’t an accident - but a feature of the system?

In this episode of Money and Me, hosted by Michelle Martin, we dive beneath the headlines with Paul Musson, author of Capital Offence: Why Some Benefit At Your Expense.

Musson argues that the modern monetary system quietly redistributes wealth - often from savers and wage earners to asset owners.

We unpack why many investors confuse money with real capital, and why that matters.

The conversation explores declining trust in systems, the role of central banks, and whether gold or cryptocurrencies are rational responses.

Finally, we examine what a future might look like in a world of rising debt, deficits and monetary expansion.

Money and Me: Who Really Wins When Money Is Printed?

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.

We also play UP or DOWN with HPE, Hims & Hers, YouTube and Suntec REIT, and check in on the Straits Times Index, Hongkong Land, UOL and Wilmar International as Singapore markets try to stabilize.

Companies mentioned: Oracle, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Hims & Hers, YouTube, Suntec REIT, Hongkong Land, UOL, Wilmar International
