Bigger Pic: OCBC Q2 profit drops 7% as rates fall, to pay lower interim dividend

As the conflict surrounding Iran moves from rhetoric to a direct strike on Kharg Island, global energy markets are on a knife-edge. Oriano Lizza, Sales Trader at CMC Markets Singapore discusses whether the IEA’s record 400-million-barrel reserve release is enough to stop an oil spiral, how Chair Powell will navigate a fresh inflationary shock during this week’s FOMC meeting, and why China’s recent NPC "growth floor" is failing to spark a rotation back into mainland equities.

In a world shaped by AI disruption, economic uncertainty and rapid workplace transformation, companies are being forced to rethink how they manage talent. Increasingly, the HR function is being seen not just as administrative support, but as a strategic driver of change.

Singapore’s tripartite partners are now encouraging stronger HR standards and wider adoption of professional certification. But will professionalising HR really make organisations more agile? 

Benjamin Boh, SNEF Council member, and Co-Chair of the Tripartite Workgroup on Human Capital Capability Development joins the Breakfast Show to unpack why stronger HR capabilities may matter for business resilience.

Morning Shot: Is HR Singapore’s Next Competitive Advantage?

Annually, Singapore tops yet another global list for being the most expensive place in the world to own a car.

With COEs hitting new highs, a typical family car easily costs up to S$250,000 to maintain. We ask the big question: is a car here a luxury… or something families actually need? We break down the numbers, compare global habits, and debate whether policies should make it easier for families to own their first car.
