Money and Me: Where are interest rates going and what are the implication of Fitch downgrading US credit?

S-REITs are on track for their strongest year since 2019, delivering double-digit returns as borrowing costs ease and yields remain compelling, but looking ahead, what do investors need to keep an eye on for 2026?

The episode explores standout S-REIT sectors, the key metrics that matter most in a falling-rate world, and how income investors can position portfolios today.

We also unpack what Hong Kong Land’s move into private funds means for listed REITs like Keppel REIT - and whether dilution risks are rising.

Joining the conversation is Kenny Loh, REIT Specialist and Wealth Advisory Director, hosted by Michelle Martin.

Money and Me: S-REITs at the Turning Point - Income, Opportunity and the New Owners of Property

Singapore’s food scene is shrinking, Wall Street may never sleep, and the STI just brushed a historic high - but not everyone is celebrating.

Market View cuts through the noise as Michelle Martin and Ryan Huang examine why some F&B names like Chagee and Mixue are still expanding even as eateries shutter across the island.

They debate whether food-and-beverage stocks remain investable in a high-cost, cut-throat market — and what falling share prices may be signalling.

The conversation shifts to the US, where Nasdaq’s plan for near-24-hour trading sparks fresh questions about liquidity, volatility, and trader burnout.

In UP or DOWN, Ford’s EV retreat, China chipmaker MetaX’s red-hot IPO debut, and big property moves from CapitaLand, UOL and Suntec REIT take centre stage.

The episode wraps with a pulse check on Singapore stocks after the STI briefly crosses 4,600, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.

Market View: From Bubble Tea to Blue Chips - Who’s Thriving as Singapore Hits 4,600?

The Fed has cut rates again - but the real story is the deep divide into what that means for your money next!

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode breaks down one of the most divided FOMC meetings in years.

So how should investors read this pause - and what does it mean as we look toward 2026? We examine the potential impact on different types of equities, from cyclicals to defensives, and whether falling rates really support risk assets.

Is the AI trade still the engine of market returns, or are cracks beginning to show beneath the surface?

Joining the conversation is Cheng Chye Hsern, Head of Investment at Providend, with practical insights on how investors should position their portfolios for the next phase of the cycle.
