  • 2275 - S2E66: Midterm shockwave - tech, oil, and the great rotation

    Trillions wiped overnight. Asia's markets in free fall. Gold at US$4,000. What just happened? The Democratic midterm sweep sent shockwaves through tech, energy, and currencies — and the ripple effects are far from over. In this episode of Market Focus Weekly, correspondent Howie Lim sits down with Saxo's chief investment strategist Charu Chanana to decode the chaos: AI spending under fire, Brent crude plunging below US$100, Singapore banks diverging, and safe havens behaving anything but safely. Find out what could possibly be next.

    Highlights:

    01:35 The midterm earthquake and AI under fire

    05:08 Oil's plunge and the peace talk mirage

    06:54 Singapore banks: Three paths, three stories

    09:38 Safe havens of bonds, gold, and a weaker dollar
