Markets are rattled by geopolitics - but panic is rarely a strategy.

From US military action in Venezuela to tensions over Greenland, investors are questioning whether uncertainty now warrants a shift in portfolios.

We examine how US equities have actually behaved through geopolitical shocks - and what history suggests about staying invested.

The Magnificent 7 start the year unevenly, raising the question of whether leadership is broadening beyond mega-cap tech into SMID caps.

A weaker US dollar prompts a closer look at currency exposure in global portfolios - risk, opportunity, or both?

With noise rising across geopolitics and policy, we ask the hardest question: sit in cash, or stay the course?

Hosted by Michelle Martin.

Guest: Cheng Chye Hsern, Head of Investment, Providend.

A 140-year-old healthcare giant shows it can still grow, as Johnson & Johnson beats earnings expectations and doubles down on its ambition to lead the global fight against cancer.

We unpack whether this is real policy clarity - or another case of TACO economics - as U.S. stocks rally on relief.

In UP or DOWN, we look at L’Oréal’s big bet on Indian beauty tech, Lululemon’s brand stumble with squat-failing tights, Ryanair’s monetisation of controversy, and whether CDL is poised for a catch-up trade.

Back home, the STI tests key support as only a handful of blue chips finish in the green.

And in our Last Word, a tool-using cow in Austria challenges what we think we know about intelligence - in markets, and in life - hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.
