Save 60%- 70% on that diamond engagement ring? What’s a “better” diamond?

From Netflix’s earnings pop to a bond-market shock out of Tokyo - markets are suddenly on edge.

Netflix posts a near-30% jump in quarterly profits, but shares slide as investors digest higher content spending and a massive all-cash bid for Warner Bros., aimed at outflanking Paramount.

We zoom out to Wall Street’s sharp sell-off as geopolitical tensions flare and volatility spikes.

Then to Japan, where a sudden bond rout rattles global markets and raises fears of contagion beyond Tokyo.

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio warns of looming “capital wars” as foreign holders rethink US Treasuries.

Plus: UP or DOWN on United Airlines, Pop Mart, Busy Ming, Indonesia stocks - and a surprising airline angle tied to weight-loss drugs, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.

Market View: Netflix, Bonds & Capital Wars - When Markets Blink

The market looks strong - but only a handful of stocks are doing the lifting.

As 2026 begins, investors are grappling with a big question: can mega-cap dominance last, or is leadership finally starting to broaden?

With just 10% of the S&P 500 driving gains, valuation gaps are widening even as market breadth quietly improves.

We explore whether easing rates, broader earnings, and capital rotation are setting the stage for SMID-cap companies to step into the spotlight.

The conversation digs into AI’s shift from infrastructure to application, separating real earnings leverage from hype.

We also assess how new US tax incentives are shaping corporate behaviour - and whether small- and mid-cap fundamentals are truly recovering.

Joining the discussion is Ann Miletti, Head of Equity Investments and Chief Diversity Officer at Allspring Global Investments, hosted by Michelle Martin.
