The ringgit just hit its strongest level in three years — here’s why it matters for your wallet.
In this episode of Money and Me, hosted by Michelle Martin, we unpack why the Malaysian ringgit is surging and whether the rally can last through 2025.

We break down Nvidia’s latest earnings and what they signal about the next phase of the AI trade.
Plus: if Bitcoin is “digital gold,” why is it trailing both bonds and gold this year?
We also demystify Singapore’s newest market milestone: SGX’s launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum perpetual futures — what they are, why they matter, and who will be using them.

Joining the conversation is Swapnil Mishra, author of Investing for the Clueless, Reckless and Overly Cautious.

The conversation spans AI, creativity, governance, capital markets, and the unintended social consequences of disruption.

Do markets still have room to rally - and where should investors really be positioned for 2026?

After a strong run for equities in 2025, global wealth manager Lombard Odier lays out how investors should think about the next phase.

We unpack the CIO Office Viewpoint with Jack Siu, Head of Discretionary Portfolio Management, Asia at Lombard Odier.

The conversation explores why Lombard Odier is underweight the US, overweight emerging markets, and tactically cautious on Japan.

We dig into standout opportunities in South Korea, healthcare, materials - and the risks markets may still be underpricing.

A practical discussion on portfolio positioning, sector-level alpha and what investors should do next, hosted by Michelle Martin.

Micron just delivered a blowout quarter - and investors are asking whether this is the next Nvidia-style AI trade.

Micron Technology posts blockbuster earnings as AI-driven demand for high-bandwidth memory outstrips global supply, sending shares soaring.

With only three major suppliers - Micron, Samsung and SK Hynix - tight capacity is reshaping how investors value memory makers.

We also unpack fresh developments in TikTok’s long-running US divestment saga and whether a sale can finally quiet Washington’s concerns.

Plus, a closer look at US inflation data that looks benign on the surface - but raises deeper questions beneath the headline number.

From PDD and BP to Nike and OCBC, it’s UP or DOWN on the day’s biggest corporate movers.

All that and more, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.
