Is it wise to bet on a president backing down? Markets seem to think so.

Hosted by Michelle Martin with Simon Ree, Founder of Tao of Trading, we unpack the viral TACO trade, why July 8 looms large for investors, and what the “revenge tax” in Section 899 might mean for global capital.

We examine how policy posturing is morphing into fiscal weaponry.

Could U.S. tariffs on the EU trigger ripple effects in the dollar and stock markets?

And what’s really at stake as China courts Europe while Washington sharpens its economic tools?

This episode dives deep into policy, perception, and the politics of risk.

Money and Me: Tariffs, TACO Trades, and the $2 Trillion Question

Oil above $110, war risks rising - yet markets are climbing… what’s really going on?

Michelle Martin explores the surprising resilience of equities as the Fed holds rates steady despite inflation and geopolitical shocks.

We unpack how Middle East tensions - from Iran to Qatar - are reshaping energy markets and reigniting inflation fears.

At the same time, capital is rotating into AI, with Nvidia at the centre of renewed chip flows into China.

Plus, a bold new frontier emerges: chips in space - could this redefine the next phase of computing and investment?

All this and more, hosted by Michelle Martin.

Money and Me: Why are markets still climbing if oil prices are rising?

AI demand is exploding - but are investors already pricing in too much too fast?

Michelle Martin and Ryan Huang unpack Micron’s blockbuster earnings as AI-driven memory demand surges, even as its stock slips on heightened expectations.

They explore whether the AI supply chain - from Nvidia-driven demand to chipmakers - is entering a new phase of volatility.

Back home, a bullish broker call on Nam Cheong highlights how oil-linked plays are riding geopolitical tensions and offshore activity recovery.

The Fed signals no rush to cut rates, sending markets lower - while Tencent, Disney, and Manulife US REIT reflect diverging global corporate momentum.

Market View: Which companies are benefitting from the AI memory boom? Oil Plays & Fed Reality Check

If you want to bank on the picks and shovels play behind the AI Capex spend, you need to understand growth drivers. 

Investors have been piling into semiconductors but what if you wanted to look beyond NVIDIA?

As computing demands grow, bottlenecks are springing up like traditional copper wiring slowing data transfers because of their heat constraints. 

Enter photonics: a whole field devoted to controlling photons or light.

We also ask What if the biggest AI winners aren’t the ones building it - but the ones powering it?

Michelle Martin explores the $700 billion AI infrastructure surge reshaping markets, from hyperscaler spending by Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta and Oracle to the hidden bottlenecks in power and data centres.

The conversation with Alvin Chow unpacks who really profits from this capex explosion.

Michelle and Alvin also explore OpenClaw, the open source viral AI agent phenomenon in China; if OpenClaw boosts productivity, which companies are set to benefit really?
