Asia-Pacific markets kick off the week on a strong footing - and beneath the surface, capital is quietly rotating, power is concentrating, and old franchises are finding new life. In today’s Market View, we unpack Keppel REIT’s move beyond offices into retail, and whether investors are warming to that diversification even as Singapore offices remain core. We look stateside as Wall Street ends the week mixed, with Bank of America flagging Estée Lauder, UBS, and Bruker as 2026 plays - from consumer brands to precision instruments. It’s UP or DOWN time with Oracle stepping deeper into TikTok’s US future, ByteDance eyeing a staggering US$50 billion profit year, and Elon Musk securing a record-breaking Tesla pay package - which gets a DOWN for governance optics. We also touch on Sony’s US$450 million bet on the Peanuts franchise, why Snoopy still matters at 75, and what ValueMax’s legal tussle means for investor sentiment. All that plus a holiday-shortened week ahead, the Straits Times Index check-in, and a cinematic Last Word from Pandora as Avatar: Fire and Ash hits the global box office - hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Singapore’s food scene is shrinking, Wall Street may never sleep, and the STI just brushed a historic high - but not everyone is celebrating. Market View cuts through the noise as Michelle Martin and Ryan Huang examine why some F&B names like Chagee and Mixue are still expanding even as eateries shutter across the island. They debate whether food-and-beverage stocks remain investable in a high-cost, cut-throat market — and what falling share prices may be signalling. The conversation shifts to the US, where Nasdaq’s plan for near-24-hour trading sparks fresh questions about liquidity, volatility, and trader burnout. In UP or DOWN, Ford’s EV retreat, China chipmaker MetaX’s red-hot IPO debut, and big property moves from CapitaLand, UOL and Suntec REIT take centre stage. The episode wraps with a pulse check on Singapore stocks after the STI briefly crosses 4,600, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
