Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 157-points this morning from Friday's close, at 19,686
on turnover of 11-billion N-T.
The market closed up on Friday, despite Wall Street slumping overnight as
investors remained concerned about Donald Trump's trade war - as the local
main board ended a rollarcoaster ride of a trading week in positive
territory.
The Financial Supervisory Commission has said measures to curb short selling
on the local stock market have been extended (延伸) into this week as global
financial indexes still face uncertainties resulting from the latest round of
the Trump administration's tariff actions.
Cabinet delays release of NT$88 billion US tariff support package details
The Cabinet has postponed the release of details of its planned 88-billion
N-T support package aimed at mitigating (緩解) the impact of higher U-S
tariffs.
According to Premier Cho Jung-tai, the delay is due to uncertainty
surrounding the U-S position as ministries and agencies need more time to
finalize (敲定) the package's details, including how subsidies will be
allocated across various industries.
The statement comes after officials in Taipei and Washington began talks via
video conferencing last Friday regarding the "reciprocal tariffs" announced
by U-S President Donald Trump earlier this month.
DPP expels ex-aide of foreign minister at center of China spying case
The D-P-P has expelled a former assistant of Joseph Wu over allegations he
was involved in a Chinese espionage case.
The D-P-P's Yilan County headquarters announced the expulsion of Ho Jen-chieh
- who worked for Wu during his tenure as foreign minister between 2018 and
2024.
According to Qiu Jia-jin, the head of the D-P-P's Yilan headquarters, he
decision was unanimous, due to Ho's alleged actions that severely damaged to
the party's reputation and "run counter to (違反,背道而馳) the D-P-P's core
values of freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law."
Ho was detained by prosecutors in Taipei last Thursday after law enforcement
authorities searched his residence.
Israel Strikes Across Gaza Leave Two Dozen Dead
A new wave of Israeli strikes across Gaza has hit the last major hospital
providing critical health care in the territory's north.
At least 21 people were killed Sunday including children.
The predawn strike on Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City was the latest of several
attacks on the facility.
The emergency room is badly damaged, and staffers said patients were
evacuated after an Israeli warning and slept in the streets.
The war started when Hamas-led militants killed 1,200 people during a 2023,
attack on southern Israel and took 250 people captive.
Many were eventually freed in ceasefire deals, and Israeli authorities have
vowed to pressure Hamas to release the remaining 59 hostages, 24 believed to
be alive.
It cut off all supplies to Gaza over a month ago, with more than 50-thousand
Palestinians killed in Israel’s retaliatory offensive, according to Gaza's
Health Ministry
