04/03/26 - US Markets Wrap: Strait of Hormuz Fears Grip Global MarketsStocks tumbled in another volatile session as fears of a prolonged U.S.-Iran conflict rattled investors, even after comments from US President Donald Trump sought to reassure markets about energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Dilin Wu, Research Strategist, Pepperstone discusses why oil risks may be skewed to the upside, why gold has not surged as expected, and whether the stronger US Dollar Index has further room to run.

04/03/26 - Breakfast Bites: Inheritance 101 - How much should you leave your kids?We tackle one of our most popular and emotionally charged poll questions today: how much should you actually leave your children? From property as “the inheritance plan” in Singapore, to the rise of the Die With Zero mindset, we unpack timing (should we give when we're gone?), fairness (split evenly between kids?) and motivation (would my kids get lazy??).
Whether you're a parent planning ahead or a child quietly wondering, this is a conversation every family eventually has.
