Money and Me: Growth potential of Asia’s crypto landscape

After years in the penalty box, S-REITs are staging their strongest comeback since before COVID - but the real question is: who’s thriving, and who’s just surviving?

The iEdge S-REIT Leaders Index delivered a standout 16.3% return in 2025, its best annual performance since 2019, signalling a shift in momentum as rate pressures ease.

But this recovery is uneven, with pockets of strength emerging while weaker balance sheets continue to lag.

We break down which property types are leading the rebound, and why yesterday’s winners may not be tomorrow’s.

With Singapore Budget 2026 just around the corner, expectations are building around policy support, funding costs, and growth catalysts for the sector.

Kenny Loh, REIT Specialist and Wealth Advisory Director, shares what investors should watch - hosted by Michelle Martin.

Money and Me: S-REITs Are Back - But Not All Recoveries Are Equal

Asia-Pacific markets are flashing mixed signals - from softer bank profits to roaring equity rallies, so where is the opportunity for investors?

DBS’ Q4 earnings remind investors that even best-in-class banks aren’t immune to margin pressure as interest rate tailwinds fade, even as wealth and fee income show resilience.

Japan’s markets surge as Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi secures a decisive election victory, fuelling optimism around fiscal stimulus, tax cuts, and a renewed equity bull case.

Wall Street stages a powerful comeback, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq jumping as chipmakers rebound and investors debate whether this is a genuine reset or a classic dead-cat bounce.

Goldman Sachs spotlights selective opportunities - from nuclear energy plays linked to Meta’s power needs to under-the-radar biotech bets after a bruising year.

Closer to home, Singapore stocks hold onto weekly gains, with Keppel Corp and Singapore Airlines leading, even as Yangzijiang Shipbuilding drags.


All this and more - hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.

Market View: From Bank Margins to Bull Runs - Who’s Really Winning This Rally?

Gold and silver just gave investors a brutal reminder: safe havens can still whipsaw.

After blistering rallies into early 2026, both metals have plunged as a stronger U.S. dollar, ETF unwinds and crowded positioning collide.

Silver’s extreme swings  highlight how fragile liquidity can be when sentiment turns.

Gold has fared better, but even it is facing its sharpest pullback in years as rate expectations reset.

So is this a temporary correction - or the end of the precious-metals bull case? Should we still all be lining to buy gold?

We break it all down, hosted by Michelle Martin who speaks with Nirgunan Tiruchelvam, Head of Consumer and Internet at Alethea Capital.
