MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Barbara Kelemen, Associate Director for Geoeconomics & Global Risks at Dragonfly on this week’s International News Review.

We begin with the Iran conflict, which is now sending shockwaves through global energy markets. Tankers are breaking down under a flood of tainted fuel, supply chains are tightening. Barbara explains how this crisis is reshaping risk assessments for governments and multinationals across Asia, the world’s largest energy‑importing region.

We then zoom out to the global macro outlook, where geopolitical volatility, fragmented regulation, and rising protectionism are creating a more complex operating environment for businesses. Barbara shares Dragonfly’s geopolitical forecast for the second half of 2026, including the flashpoints to watch and the scenarios that could shift markets overnight.

Finally, we look at the APAC impact: how companies in Singapore and across the region are adapting their strategies, diversifying supply chains, and preparing for a world defined by uncertainty.

Saturday Mornings International News: Energy Shockwaves, Geopolitical Flashpoints & What Business Must Prepare For

On Happening This Week, we break down one of the most closely watched diplomatic events of 2026: the Trump–Xi Summit in Beijing. 

After two days of pageantry, state banquets, and high‑stakes meetings, President Donald Trump left China declaring he had secured “fantastic trade deals… great for both countries.” But with few details released, the world is asking: What actually happened behind closed doors?

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Eric Olander, co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The China Global South Project to understand the dynamics.

Trump arrived with a heavyweight delegation of CEOs spanning agriculture, aviation, EVs, and AI chips signalling that trade was the real centrepiece despite tensions over the Iran war. Businesses hoped for clarity on tariffs, especially with the current truce set to expire in November. Instead, the summit delivered warm rhetoric, symbolic gestures, and an invitation for Xi to visit the White House in September.

To help us unpack the substance behind the spectacle, we’re joined by Eric Olander, one of the world’s leading analysts on US–China relations. Eric explains what was said, what wasn’t, and what this summit means for global markets, supply chains, and Asia’s geopolitical balance.
