The Tai-Ex opened up 13-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 17,586 on turnover of 7.8-billion N-T.

The market closed at a new high on Monday, as the bellwether electronics sector continued momentum (動量;動力) from a session earlier.

Investors were also encouraged by a rally on tech stocks on Wall Street at the end of last week.

Analysts say while buying focused on semiconductor stocks, old economy and financials stocks also moved higher to push up the broader market to the day's high of 17,572 at the end of the session.

The Central Epidemic Command Center says two more China Airlines cargo pilots have been confirmed to have contracted the coronavirus.

It brings the total number of such cases at the carrier to nine.

Health officials say they still don't know how they were infected or if they have infected other people here in Taiwan.

And according to the epidemic command center, it is also still seeking to (試圖;設法) determine whether the cases confirmed in the nine pilots are related to each other.

And health officials are also conducting P-C-R and antibody tests on 1,272 China Airlines pilots and their confirmed contacts.

 Weekend Rainfall Helps Farmers, but Reservoirs Remain Dry

The Council of Agriculture says the recent rainy weather is helping some farmers, but the 1.2-million cubic meters it is expected to deliver to reservoirs will not do much to boost the overall water supply amid the on-going drought.

According to the Agency of Irrigation, the wet weather system brought rainfall to some drought-stricken (遭受重創的) agricultural hubs, especially in Kaohsiung and Pingtung, where mango and rice farmers have suffered major losses.

The drought has resulted in agricultural losses of nearly 430-million N-T over the past one and a half months.

Another round of rainfall is forecast to begin on Thursday.

 Germany China Agree to Cooperate on Climate Change   
 


發佈於 2021-04-27 10:46:05

Germany and China have agreed to step up their cooperation in combating climate change in an effort to help keep global temperatures from rising by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius by the year 2100.

Countries are running out of time to achieve that target (目標), laid down in the Paris agreement more than five years ago.

Scientists say global temperatures have already increased by about 1.2 C since pre-industrial times.

German environment minister Svenja Schulze said she and her Chinese counterpart Huang Runqui discussed how Beijing can bring forward the year when it will start reducing emissions (碳排放) and cuts its use of coal, a particularly polluting fossil fuel.

Germany aims to phase out the burning of coal for electricity by 2038.


 US 2020 Census   
 


發佈於 2021-04-27 10:46:05

The first numbers from the 2020 census are out and they show that America's population growth has declined to its slowest rate since the Great Depression.

The country's total population is now just under 331.5 million.

At the same time, the nation's political center of gravity has kept shifting farther to the Republican-led South and West.

Texas, Florida and other Sunbelt states are gaining congressional seats as chillier climes ((具有某種氣候的)地區,地帶;氣候帶) like New York and Ohio lose them.

And California is losing a seat for the first time ever.
