The Fed has raised rates, but markets are rallying as oil prices and bond yields ease. Could the rate hike also provide a much-needed boost to Singapore banks — and why might UOB emerge as a bigger beneficiary?

On Market View, Michelle Martin examines what the changing rate environment means for Singapore banking stocks and whether Wall Street's best day in six weeks has legs.

Then it's UP or DOWN: Jensen Huang says Nvidia could sell twice as many chips next year — can the stock keep delivering? Is Zscaler an overlooked cybersecurity opportunity? And could relaxed rules for conservation shophouses unlock new value at Boat Quay?

Plus, Pokémon turns 30. Michelle looks at how Pikachu and friends became a multibillion-dollar nostalgia machine — and why Pokémon cards are still attracting serious money three decades later.
