Asia-Pacific markets kick off the week on a strong footing - and beneath the surface, capital is quietly rotating, power is concentrating, and old franchises are finding new life.

In today’s Market View, we unpack Keppel REIT’s move beyond offices into retail, and whether investors are warming to that diversification even as Singapore offices remain core.

We look stateside as Wall Street ends the week mixed, with Bank of America flagging Estée Lauder, UBS, and Bruker as 2026 plays - from consumer brands to precision instruments.

It’s UP or DOWN time with Oracle stepping deeper into TikTok’s US future, ByteDance eyeing a staggering US$50 billion profit year, and Elon Musk securing a record-breaking Tesla pay package - which gets a DOWN for governance optics.

We also touch on Sony’s US$450 million bet on the Peanuts franchise, why Snoopy still matters at 75, and what ValueMax’s legal tussle means for investor sentiment.

All that plus a holiday-shortened week ahead, the Straits Times Index check-in, and a cinematic Last Word from Pandora as Avatar: Fire and Ash hits the global box office - hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.

Great disruptions don’t arrive with a bang - they begin quietly, on the margins.

From the iPhone to Pampers, history shows that world-changing innovations rarely look revolutionary at first.

In this episode, we explore Epic Disruptions with its author Scott D. Anthony, Clinical Professor of Strategy at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.

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


How can investors and leaders best scan for or enable disruption? 

Find out with Michelle Martin.
