Tai-Ex opening   
 


發佈於 2021-10-18 10:36:02

The Tai-Ex opened up 35-points this morning from Friday's close, at 16,816 on turnover of 5.3-billion N-T.

The market moved sharply higher Friday, closing above the 16,700-point mark, and analysts says they expect the market move higher this week on the back of sustained (持續) foreign institutional buying.

According to market watchers, the local main board could breach the 20-day moving average of 16,831 in the coming days and continue to perform strongly.

However, they are warning the local main board could encounter high technical hurdles ahead of the 60-day moving average of 17,112 points.

The Central Epidemic Command Center is extending the current level 2 coronavirus alert for another two weeks to November 1.

Health Minister Chen Shih-chung says the decision to extend the alert level was made amid ongoing efforts to increase coronavirus vaccination rates.

According to Chen, 62.11-per cent of the population have now received at least one dose of a vaccine, while 22.01-per cent have gotten the two doses needed to be fully vaccinated against the virus.

However, some face mask restrictions (限制) are now being further lifted.

People will no longer have to wear a mask when they are exercising outdoors and people can also take off their masks when eating or drinking on the street if social distancing guidelines can be maintained.


 Reports Say Taiwan Could Soon Begin to Receive F-16Vs   
 


發佈於 2021-10-18 10:36:02

A former Air Force official says Taiwan could begin to receive F-16V fighter jets from the U-S sooner than had been initially expected.

The statement comes after C-N-N reported late last week that defense officials here in Taiwan are seeking to discuss the possibility of speeding up delivery of the jets to Taiwan due to China's increasing sorties into the island's air defense identification zone.

The sale of the first batch of 22 F-16Vs was approved in 2019 and delivery is scheduled to begin in 2023.

However, sources are being cited as saying defense officials here are looking to bring that timeframe (時間範圍) forward by one year, to allow for delivery of the aircraft in 2022.

Celebrities have joined Prince William in London for the inaugural (首次的) awards ceremony of his Earthshot Prize.

The ambitious environmental program aims to find new ideas and technologies around the world to tackle climate change and Earth's most pressing challenges.

Actors Emma Thompson, Emma Watson and David Oyelowo joined Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, in handing out the awards.

William and his charity, The Royal Foundation, launched the Earthshot Prize last year.

The five winners announced Sunday included the government of Costa Rica and the city of Milan.

Each will receive a grant worth around $1.4 million US dollars to develop and scale up their ideas, and the awards will be given every year until 2030.

The ceremony came days ahead of the COP26 U.N. climate change summit in Glasgow, which begins on Oct. 31.
