Market View: UOL’s Hot Streak and Wall Street’s Chill

Are consumers falling out of love with Lululemon’s famous leggings?

Shares plunged after disappointing earnings and a weaker outlook - but the bigger question is whether fashion itself has moved on.

Meanwhile, DBS analysts see a stronger yield opportunity in S-REITs than Singapore bank dividends. What has changed in the income equation?

Michelle Martin also looks at what falling US bond yields mean for tech stocks before playing Up or Down on Nvidia’s US$12.9 billion Hugging Face acquisition, SpaceX’s return to the US$2 trillion club and Volkswagen’s plan to cut 50,000 jobs.

Plus, why is the Dutch central bank moving part of its gold reserves away from the US - and does it tell us anything about changing perceptions of geopolitical risk?

What if we managed our health the way we manage our money - investing early, tracking risk and thinking about long-term returns?

Functional nutritionist Jieun Wrigley of Rapid Nutrition Therapy says preventive-minded individuals are moving beyond conventional annual health screenings towards more detailed biomarkers, biological-age profiling and inflammation tracking.

But which tests are genuinely useful, and which belong to the increasingly crowded world of wellness hype?

On Live Well with Michelle, Jieun joins Michelle Martin to explore the idea of health as “biological capital”: what newer health panels can reveal, where she believes conventional screening may fall short, and how nutrition fits into a proactive approach to longevity.

And for the busy, burnt-out professional who doesn't have hours a day to optimise their health, what actually moves the needle?

Singapore’s housing market could be entering a new phase.

The BTO household income ceiling is rising to S$16,000, while the Executive Condominium ceiling moves to S$18,000 - potentially widening the pool of households eligible for public and subsidised housing.

At the same time, thousands of new BTO flats are coming onto the market, with a growing number of HDB flats reaching their Minimum Occupation Period in the years ahead.

Could more supply finally shift some bargaining power back to buyers?

And should someone planning to buy over the next year or two move now - or wait?

Looking further ahead, could Long Island eventually do for the East Coast what reclamation once did for Marine Parade?

Michelle Martin speaks with Ivan Cai, Chairman of Crestbrick, about whether Singapore’s housing ladder is being reshaped, where demand could intensify, what greater supply could mean for resale and private property prices, and the decisions prospective home buyers should be thinking about now.
