Market View: Profits, Policy & Power Plays - DFI Retail, United Airlines, Adobe, CATL in Focus

About this episode

Michelle Martin and Ryan Huang discuss the current market sentiment as earnings rise, highlighting various companies and economic indicators.

Earnings are booming, what does this signal about market sentiment? Michelle Martin and Ryan Huang unpack a split global picture: DFI Retail surges on resilient consumer demand while United Airlines warns of turbulence ahead. REITs like OUE REIT and Keppel REIT show steady income growth, even as investors question sustainability. In the US, Kevin Warsh’s push for a Federal Reserve “regime change” could reshape how markets interpret interest rates. Meanwhile, corporate headlines - from Adobe’s massive buyback to CATL’s ultra-fast EV battery - signal where innovation and capital are flowing. From Singapore’s STI movers like CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust to global names like Nvidia-linked Victory Giant and Sanrio - hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.
