Tai-Ex opening

The Tai-Ex opened up 45-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,550

on turnover of 3.3-billion N-T.


The market surged past the five-day moving average on Monday, after Taiwan

Semiconductor Manufacturing saw a technical rebound, which helped the broader

market rebound from the previous session led by tech stocks.


Select old economy industries also attracted bargain hunters during the

trading day, including shipping stocks - as the transportation industry rose

1.9-per cent - while the financial sector added 0.76-per cent.



More free flu vaccines on the way

The Centers for Disease Control says it has now distributed some 100,000

additional government-funded flu vaccines and they will be administered

(給予、施用) from this Thursday.


According to the C-D-C, the vaccines passed inspection last Friday and have

been distributed to local health authorities.


Distribution of the flu vaccines doses come after the C-D-C last week

announced that T-T-Y Biopharm had been awarded the 12.7-million N-T contract

to supply the cell culture flu vaccines.


The doses will be then administered for individuals aged 65 and over, infants

over the age of 6 months, preschool children and those at higher risk of

contracting the flu.



Taipei street named after badminton's Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin

Olympic badminton gold medal winners - Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin - have had a

street named after them in Taipei.


The plaque for "Lin Yang Way" was unveiled at a ceremony at the Zhongshan

Junior High School - where both of them studied in their younger years.


According to Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an, the city government chose to name

the street after Lee and Wang after local residents submitted a petition to

his office calling for the two-time Olympic gold medallists to be celebrated.


Residents won't have to change their addresses, as the street will also

preserve its original (原來的) name of "Lane 361 on Fuxing North Road."


Lee and Wang won gold in men's badminton doubles at both the 2020 Tokyo and

the 2024 Paris games.
