Saturday Mornings: Germany & Singapore at 60: Innovation, Security & a Strategic Partnership Built for the Future

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Ethan Wu, Asia business & finance editor at The Economist joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphento unpack a week where geopolitics, markets, and social tensions collided across continents.

We begin with the collapsed Iran ceasefire, which sent oil prices climbing as US–Iran negotiations faltered yet again. With supply disruption fears rising, Ethan explains what this means for global inflation, energy markets, and Asia’s economic outlook.

Then we turn to The Economist’s explosive new cover story: Andrey Melnichenko, Russia’s biggest industrialist and fertilizer magnate, warning that Russia faces a looming domestic disaster. Ethan breaks down why his critique matters — and what it signals about Russia’s internal fractures.

Next: SK Hynix, the Korean chip giant riding the AI boom, is exploring a US listing. It’s a move that could reshape global semiconductor competition and accelerate Korea’s rise as an AI hardware superpower.

And finally — a troubling social trend in South Korea: a surge in stalking cases that has sparked national debate about safety, policing, and gender norms.
