Tai-Ex opening   
 


發佈於 2021-10-07 10:35:02

The Tai-Ex opened up 72-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 16,465 on turnover of 3.7-billion N-T.

The market lost ground on Wednesday as investors opted to pocket early gains amid lingering (揮之不去) concerns over possible continuing volatility on Wall Street despite a rally on U-S markets overnight.

Analysts say the local bellwether electronics sector came under pressure during the trading day, but a spike in international crude oil prices lent some support to large cap petrochemical stocks, preventing the broader market from falling further.

A powerful earthquake has shaken a remote mountainous part of southwestern Pakistan.

At least 11 people were killed and more than 200 injured in the quake that collapsed at least one mine and many houses.

A local official says rescue efforts are underway but just reaching the remote (偏僻的) hardest-hit areas will take time and the toll is expected to rise.

The 5.7 magnitude quake struck early today after many workers had already entered the coal mines.

The epicenter was about 14 kilometers north-northeast of Harnai in Baluchistan province.

 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Awarded

Two scientists have won the Nobel Prize for chemistry for finding an ``ingenious'' and environmentally cleaner way to build molecules that can be used to make a variety of compounds, including medicines and pesticides.

The work of Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan has allowed scientists to produce those molecules more cheaply, efficiently, safely, and with less hazardous waste.

The Nobel panel noted their contributions made the production of key drugs easier, including an antiviral and an anti-anxiety medication.

The prestigious (聲望很高的) award comes with a gold medal and over $1.14 million US dollars.
