Forget the market noise, today is all about high-conviction plays.
We’re seeing a massive rotation as AI shifts from "training" to "inference," while the offshore and energy sectors are catching a second wind from soaring oil prices.
Here’s your breakdown of the top 10 tickers dominating the US, Singapore, and Australia markets right now.
1.The US AI Semiconductor Heatwave
The spotlight is firmly on $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ ’s GTC, but the ripple effects are lifting the entire ecosystem. The narrative has officially shifted: it’s no longer just about building models; it’s about running them.
-
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ : The undisputed king. With the Blackwell Ultra launch boasting a 40x increase in inference performance, NVIDIA isn't just leading the race—it's moving the finish line.
-
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ : Playing the "market share" game perfectly. The MI300 series is proving to be a formidable challenger as cloud giants look for inference alternatives.
-
$Broadcom(AVGO)$ : The dark horse of the inference boom. Their custom AI chips (ASICs) are seeing explosive demand as Big Tech moves toward bespoke silicon.
-
$Marvell Technology(MRVL)$ : Data centers are the new oil refineries, and Marvell’s interconnect chips are the essential pipelines.
-
$SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$ : The ultimate AI proxy. With an order book stretching into 2027, their liquid-cooled server racks are the industry gold standard.
2.Singapore Offshore & Marine
A rare combination of stellar earnings and rising oil prices is sending the Straits Times offshore sector into overdrive.
-
$YZJ Shipbldg SGD(BS6.SI)$ : A fundamental beast. Net profit is projected to double by 2025, backed by a record-breaking order book.
-
$Keppel(BN4.SI)$ : Transitioning into a global asset manager with S$95 billion in AUM. Core profits are up 40%, and the dividend hike is the cherry on top.
3.Australian Energy & Finance
As crude edges toward the triple-digit mark, the $ASX LTD(ASX.AU)$ is becoming a haven for yield-hungry and defensive investors.
-
$WOODSIDE ENERGY GROUP LTD(WDS.AU)$ : Australia’s premier oil and gas play. When oil prices climb, Woodside’s bottom line feels it instantly.
-
$SANTOS LIMITED(STO.AU)$ : A defensive powerhouse. With a dividend yield exceeding 6%, it’s the perfect place to park capital during volatility.
-
$COMMONWEALTH BANK OF AUSTRALIA(CBA.AU)$ : A tactical watch. If the RBA hikes rates, expect Net Interest Margins (NIM) to expand in the short term—a classic banking tailwind.
💡 The Strategy Room: What’s Really Happening?
The "AI Trade" is evolving. We are moving from the Training Era to the Inference Era. This favors companies like NVDA and AMD that can handle massive throughput, as well as edge computing plays.
Meanwhile, in the commodity space, remember: $100 oil favors oil services over simple extraction. In the banking sector, an RBA rate hike is a "short-term gain, long-term pain" scenario as credit pressure eventually builds.

In Singapore and Australia, offshore and energy names are catching a second wind. YZJ Shipbldg SGD and Keppel are benefiting from rising oil and strong fundamentals, while WOODSIDE ENERGY GROUP LTD, SANTOS LIMITED, and COMMONWEALTH BANK OF AUSTRALIA gain from oil prices and potential RBA rate tailwinds.
My strategy is simple: ride AI, offshore, and energy momentum while staying selective. I’m watching inference demand, commodity prices, and banking conditions for tactical entries, keeping focus on high-conviction, fundamentals-backed trades.

Electricity demand is forecast to grow 4% in 2026. $Vistra Energy Corp.(VST)$ has the potential to become an All Star for 2026. It is one of the largest integrated retail electricity & power generation companies in the US.
Vistra operates a diverse portfolio of power plants. This includes natural gas, nuclear, coal, solar & battery energy storage with a total generation capacity of 41,000 megawatts.
Vistra has recently signed massive contracts with $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ in January 2026 to provide dedicated nuclear power for their AI data centers.
Vistra surged 10.5% following the deal & continues to outpace traditional utilities as it pivots into a growth utility hybrid.
That is why Vistra Energy is a potential all star of 2026.

If NVDA and SMCI and are the engines of the inference era, Vertiv is the cooling system keeping the car from melting.
My Vote for the Leader Today: AI.
The momentum from the GTC ripple effects usually has a multi-day "digestion" period where institutional buyers fill positions in the secondary ecosystem.
