Ideas
Mansoor Mohi-uddin Chief Economist, Bank of Singapore 9:15
Liquidity inflows to lift Asian markets
China and Asian markets are performing well despite a not-super-strong Chinese economy, supported by a weakening dollar, global investors shifting away from the US, and significant liquidity flowing into the region, which should help Asian markets pick up.
Mansoor Mohi-uddin Chief Economist, Bank of Singapore 9:44
Dollar in long-term downtrend; favor euro, yen
The US dollar is in a clear long-term downtrend, reminiscent of the early 2000s, as geopolitical tensions and low interest rates lead investors to reassess US exposures. Reserve managers can shift into euros and yen as alternatives to US Treasuries.

Bahrain hub drives Capital A growth
Capital A is expanding its low-cost carrier network through a new strategic hub in Bahrain, aiming to connect Asia, Europe, and Africa. The company sees potential for up to 100 aircraft and 45 million passengers, is merging AirAsia and AirAsia X, finalizing a large aircraft order, and launching cargo and engineering services, positioning it for significant growth.
Aziz Aluthman Fakhroo Chairman, Fakhroo Group 34:47
Ooredoo's record growth and data center expansion
Ooredoo Group reported a third consecutive record year with net profit of 3.9 billion Qatari riyals and a 14% dividend increase. Its data center business is growing rapidly toward a 120MW target, and with a strong balance sheet (0.4x net debt/EBITDA), it is well-positioned for inorganic growth in data centers, fintech, and fiber connectivity across its diversified footprint.
Craig Miller CEO, Valterra Platinum 42:51
Valterra focused; benefits from higher PGM prices
Valterra Platinum, following its demerger from Anglo American, is now a focused and agile company with world-class assets, benefiting from higher PGM prices and disciplined capital allocation. The benefits of the demerger and operational focus are expected to become evident in upcoming results.
Craig Miller CEO, Valterra Platinum 44:14
PGM deficit persists; platinum prices to rise
The PGM market has been in a structural supply-demand deficit that is expected to persist for years due to underinvestment, muted supply, and supply disruptions, while demand remains supported as the energy transition and internal combustion engine rollout are not as rapid as some forecasts suggested. This creates a bullish environment for platinum and PGM prices.
