25/11/25 - Bigger Pic: Bridging Markets - Singapore Meets NasdaqSingapore is about to open a new gateway for capital markets with the SGX‑Nasdaq dual-listing bridge, set for mid-2026.

James Leong, CEO of Grasshopper Asia, unpacks what the bridge could mean for Singapore’s equities market: which sectors are likely to benefit, how dual listings may influence global investor participation, and the role of sovereign wealth funds. We also explore the potential impact on price discovery, volatility, and retail investor access, and whether this marks a turning point in Singapore’s quest to reclaim its position as a hub for growth companies.

25/11/25 - US Markets Wrap: AI Rally or Holiday Relief? Markets Bounce BackStocks surged Monday, led by tech giants like Alphabet, as markets recovered from a shaky start to November. The Nasdaq posted its biggest gain since May, fueled by renewed optimism in AI, from Google’s Gemini 3 upgrade to strong moves in Broadcom, Micron, AMD, and Palantir. Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, breaks down whether this rally signals renewed conviction in the AI trade or is simply a relief bounce, explores how shifting Fed rate expectations are influencing sentiment, and weighs the risks of volatility during thin holiday trading. Plus, he previews key economic data this week, including retail sales and producer prices, and what it could mean for the market heading into December.
