Just as global markets breached the historic 7,000 mark on a wave of ceasefire euphoria, the "geopolitical risk premium" has come roaring back. With Iran reversing its decision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the fragile optimism of the past week is facing a stark reality check. Vasu Menon, Managing Director of Investment Strategy at OCBC, examines this collision of record-high valuations and escalating energy threats. He dives into the latest earnings season takeaways to see if corporate margins can survive another oil shock, analyze the second-order effects of "sticky" inflation on central bank policy, and look ahead to a critical week of US retail sales data. Is the "soft landing" narrative still intact, or is the market's latest peak a house of cards? Produced/Presented: Ryan HuangSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Iran war is an unprecedented crisis but South-east Asia is better placed to handle it. Synopsis: Every second Friday of the month, The Straits Times’ senior columnist Ravi Velloor distils 45 years of experience covering the Asian continent, with expert guests. The US-Israeli assault on Iran, which led to the effective closure of the Straits of Hormuz, has seized up many Asian economies which are seeing rising fuel prices, soaring airline ticket costs and leaving restaurants short of cooking fuel. But South-east Asia, with memories of the Asian Financial Crisis of the late 1990s still fresh in memory is better placed macro-economically to tackle the crisis - evidenced in investors’ confidence in stocks such as DBS, SIA and OCBC. In this wide-ranging episode, host Ravi Velloor speaks with Thilan Wickramasinghe, head of research at Maybank Securities and an expert on the interplay of geopolitics, macro-economics and the stock market. They unpack the full dimensions of the crisis before discussing how Asia is likely to fare when it ends, as it must some day. Mr Wickramasinghe offers some advice: It has paid off for investors to be long on stocks, he says, and there is a case to keep some gold in your portfolio, as well as energy stocks. Highlights (click/tap above) 1:38 A Michelle Yeoh, Di Caprio-style crisis 8:16 South-east Asia is better placed than other regions 14:09 DBS, SIA - why some stocks do better than the rest 15:33 Opportunities for investors in this crisis 17:59 Post-War realities to watch for 21:10 Equities will never go out of fashion Read Ravi's columns: https://str.sg/3xRP Follow Ravi on X: https://twitter.com/RaviVelloor Sign up for ST’s weekly Asian Insider newsletter: https://str.sg/sfpz Host: Ravi Velloor (velloor@sph.com.sg) Produced and edited by: Fa’izah Sani Executive producer: Ernest Luis Follow Asian Insider Podcast on Fridays here: Channel: https://str.sg/JWa7 Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWa8 Spotify: https://str.sg/JWaX Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg --- Follow more ST podcast channels: All-in-one ST Podcasts channel: https://str.sg/wvz7 Get more updates: http://str.sg/stpodcasts The Usual Place Podcast YouTube: https://str.sg/4Vwsa --- Get The Straits Times app, which has a dedicated podcast player section: The App Store: https://str.sg/icyB Google Play: https://str.sg/icyX --- #STAsianInsiderSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
