Our episode takes us from dormitories in Dubai to data centres in Seattle as investors navigate a market that feels both ambitious and anxious. Centurion Corp eyes Middle East expansion as Amazon stumbles, AMD faces scepticism, and Anthropic rides a post-Super Bowl surge - all while the STI flirts with the 5,000 mark.

In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, we unpack Centurion’s “baby steps” into migrant housing demand across the Gulf.

US markets pause but remain jittery, with AI reshaping sentiment around Amazon, AMD and Palo Alto Networks.

From Singapore’s AI ambitions to China’s EV and bubble tea giants - where is the smartest risk-reward right now?

Singapore’s Budget 2026 signals an accelerated AI roadmap just as Chinese growth names like BYD, XPeng, Pop Mart and Guming Holdings capture investor attention, hosted by Michelle Martin.

We unpack Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s innovation-led strategy and what it could mean for Singapore equities and AI infrastructure plays.

Then we pivot to China’s EV landscape as global registrations soften and policy shifts test demand resilience.
