Money and Me: How might the Straits of Hormuz crisis  impact retail investors?

What if markets are rising not because risks are low - but because investors are underestimating them? Michelle Martin explores the medium-term fallout of a potential Strait of Hormuz disruption and why energy shocks may reshape Asia’s outlook. Despite geopolitical tensions and recession fears, global equities continue to climb—what’s driving this disconnect? We examine Singapore’s policy shift as the Monetary Authority of Singapore tightens for the first time since 2022 and what that signals. From inflation persistence to supply chain rewiring, the investment landscape may be shifting more than it appears.
