episode Market View: AI's New Winners - Cars, Chips, Conglomerates and Crude Oil cover

Description

What if the biggest AI winners aren't AI companies at all? Hosted by Michelle Martin, we unpack how Jardine Matheson is preparing its next chapter after a US$10 billion transformation spree, while BYD unveils China's most advanced EV chip in a push to dominate smart driving. Ford is also surprising investors as its energy-storage business emerges as an unexpected AI play, helping power a sharp rally in its shares. Meanwhile, Wall Street continues its march to record highs on strong corporate earnings, even as investors keep one eye on a fragile US-Iran truce and the risk of an oil price shock. In UP or DOWN, we track Brent crude, Dell's blockbuster AI-fuelled growth, Costco's record fuel sales, The Gap's stumble, plus Singapore-listed Valuetronics and OKP Holdings. Companies in focus: Jardine Matheson, BYD, Ford Motor, Dell, Costco, The Gap, Exxon, Valuetronics and OKP Holdings.

Market View: As semiconductors weaken, what's gaining ground?

After months of AI-fuelled gains, investors hit the brakes on semiconductor stocks, sending SanDisk, Micron, Western Digital, Marvell Technology and Oracle sharply lower this week as concerns grew over lofty valuations and massive AI spending. Yet money didn't leave tech entirely - it rotated into profitable software names. Which names have gained ground? We unpack what this shift says about the next phase of the AI boom, why JPMorgan Chase's strong earnings are reassuring investors about the health of the US economy, and what IBM's disappointing outlook reveals about rising expectations for AI. We also examine whether softer US inflation could give the Federal Reserve more room to cut rates, and why geopolitics may matter more than inflation in the days ahead. Plus, the stocks and sectors investors should keep firmly on their watchlist. Hosted by Michelle Martin. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
