She also breaks down the surprising strength of holiday spending despite record-low consumer sentiment and highlights the key inflation and jobs data in the weeks ahead that will determine whether this downturn becomes a buying opportunity or the start of a broader correction.

Nicholas Mak, Chief Research Officer at mogul.sg joins the Breakfast Show to unpack what’s driving this shift, how consumer psychology shapes perception of the “million-dollar threshold”, and the trade-offs young couples face as they weigh space, lifestyle, and future needs.
