Tai-Ex opening
發布於 2024-12-31 10:41:13
The Tai-Ex opened down 96-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,094 on turnover of 3.7-billion N-T.
The market lost ground on Monday as a decline on Wall Street at the end of last week resulted in the selling of large cap electronics stocks.
Turnover also remained thin as foreign institutional investors remain away from the market for the New Year's Day holiday, making it hard for the main board to rally - leaving the Tai-Ex in consolidation mode.

發布於 2024-12-31 10:41:13
The government has revised its 2030 target for the reduction of carbon emissions upwards - but is warning that uncertainties over electricity usage and climate change technologies remain.
According to Environment Minister Peng Chi-ming, the government will now pursue (追求) a goal of reducing carbon emissions by between 26 and 30-per cent by 2030 compared to 2005 levels.
That's up from the previous goal of between 23 and 25-per cent set in December of 2022.
Peng says the wider margin of error than the previous forecast is due to several uncertainties - including international political and economic developments - which could affect progress on climate change issues differently across countries.

South Korea's anti-corruption agency says that a court has issued warrants to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol and search his office.
The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials said in a statement that the Seoul Western District Court issued warrants Tuesday to detain Yoon over his stunning (令人驚嘆的) yet short-lived martial law decree earlier this month and to search the presidential office in central Seoul.

Yoon's powers have been suspended since the opposition-controlled National Assembly voted to impeach him on Dec. 14.
The Constitutional Court is to determine whether to dismiss Yoon as president or reinstate him.
