Your Money with Michelle Martin

Money and Me: All you need to know about  Nasdaq's 23 hour cycle and AI's next chapter beyond the cloud

Markets are shifting fast - not just what you invest in, but how you stay ahead when trading never stops. As NASDAQ moves toward a 23-hour trading day, investors face a world that’s always-on, faster, and more volatile. At the same time, AI enters its second phase, with infrastructure players like Micron powering the data-centre boom. And AI is no longer just in servers - it’s moving onto our faces, as smart eyewear reshapes consumer tech. So which trends are structural, which are cyclical, and where should investors be wary of hype? We break it all down, hosted by Michelle Martin and Swapnil Mishra, Author of "Investing for the Clueless, Reckless and Overly Cautious".

Market View: From Keppel REIT’s Pivot to TikTok, Tesla Pay and Snoopy’s Comeback

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.
