Japan’s election, Greenland's takeover and Asia’s market resilience

Описание: Global markets faced another week of political uncertainty, from snap elections in Japan to fresh geopolitical threats from the US — yet investors barely blinked. 


In this episode of Market Focus Weekly, Emily Liu speaks with Pete Tan of Phillip Capital about why markets seem increasingly unfazed by political risk. They unpack Japan’s bond sell-off, Trump’s back and forth over Greenland, and whether rallies in Chinese AI stocks reflect hype or a deeper structural shift.

00:59 Japan’s snap elections


04:31 Japanese bonds on SGX


07:43 Greenland chaos


09:32 Asian market rally


12:18 UOB’s strong outlook
