Market View: AI Reckoning, Oil Surge & Governance Shock

A $375M verdict, oil profits on steroids, and AI winners splitting from losers - markets are sending sharp signals. Asia-Pacific markets take their cue from Wall Street’s wobble as geopolitics and valuations collide, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang. From Meta’s landmark legal setback to TotalEnergies flagging unprecedented refining margins, policy and profit cycles are colliding. In tech, Arm Holdings surges on AI optimism while Micron Technology slides despite strong earnings - a divergence investors can’t ignore. Meanwhile, governance questions deepen at Grab Holdings, even as U.S. equities start to look “cheap” again. Singapore’s Straits Times Index edges higher, with DFI Retail Group and Jardine Matheson leading, while Wilmar International lags. And in the Last Word - Apple bets big on an AI-powered Siri reboot.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
