Oil prices are surging, AI spending is back under the microscope, and a new round of U.S. tariffs is raising fresh concerns about global growth. Together, these forces are driving volatility across financial markets and putting renewed pressure on Asian currencies as inflation risks rise and the Federal Reserve maintains a hawkish tone.
In this episode of Market Focus Weekly, Barclays' Mitul Kotecha joins us to unpack the week's biggest market and FX developments. We examine the impact of higher energy prices on Asia's inflation outlook and central bank policy, discuss whether the region is prepared for another wave of tariffs, and explore what's next for two closely watched currencies—the Japanese yen and the Indian rupee.
Highlights:
02:00 How is Asia coping with high energy prices
09:10 New Trump tariffs impact on Asia
11:08 Japan yen intervention expectations
13:33 Further depreciation for the Indian rupee

The US dollar is sliding fast, and it’s sending waves across global markets. This week on Market Focus Weekly, Emily Liu speaks with SGX strategist Geoff Howie about why the US dollar has weakened sharply amid talk of potential US-Japan intervention to support the yen.

04:31 Japanese bonds on SGX
07:43 Greenland chaos
09:32 Asian market rally
12:18 UOB’s strong outlook

It’s a busy start to 2026 for markets. Asian equities are rallying, AI remains dominant, and Singapore stocks are pushing into record territory.
On this week’s Market Focus Weekly, Emily Liu is joined by HSBC’s Herald van der Linde to break down what’s powering the early-year optimism — and where risks may be building. They discuss whether the AI trade is becoming overcrowded, what to make of a wave of Chinese IPOs in Hong Kong, and why the market is largely unfazed by geopolitical flashpoints from Venezuela to China–Japan trade tensions.
Highlights:
01:28 Will the AI rally slow down?
08:16 Chinese tech IPOs in Hong Kong
11:14 Singapore’s quiet strength
13:07 So what, Venezuela?
16:23 China vs. Japan

Highlights:
01:30 AI valuation fears
04:26 Overconcentration in AI and the US
08:11 Is a market correction brewing?
11:47 Japan’s new big budget plan
13:21 Bank of Japan’s next move

Highlights:
01:12 Japan-US trade deal
02:54 Japan, China bond yields
04:41 Upcoming interest rate decisions
06:47 Chinese tech rally
08:59 Is de-dollarisation still a trend?
