The Tai-Ex opened down 15-points this morning from yesterday's close, at

22,362 on turnover of $4.2-billion N-T.

Shares in Taiwan staged a significant technical rebound, soaring more than

400 points Thursday led by the electronics sector, as buying was triggered by

a U.S. rally following a Federal Reserve decision described by the market as

dovish.

Artificial intelligence-related stocks also bounced back from a recent slump

with iPhone assembler and AI server maker Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. both

ending up, and buying was seen across the board, although the gains posted by

nontech stocks were largely capped.

The Ministry of Labor is planning to amend regulations that will allow

foreign students who have graduated from a Taiwan university to work six

types of jobs categorized by the ministry as "intermediate-skilled" jobs.

According to the labor ministry, revisions represent an interdepartmental

(跨部門的) effort to tackle a growing labor shortage.

The six types of jobs covered by the amended regulations include assistant

nurses, intercity and city bus drivers and cargo vehicle drivers.

The amendments will be made to employment qualifications, skill requirements,

and regulations on changing employers.

Officials say they will enter a public review period by the end of this month

at the earliest, to solicit input from the public before they go into effect.

The labor ministry's Cross-Border Workforce Management Division says the

positions will be open to graduated students from Hong Kong and Macau, but

not to those from China.

Ekrem Imamoglu was arrested Wednesday as part of investigations into

Erdogan as a politically driven attempt to eliminate a key rival from the

next presidential race.

independently.

On Thursday authorities detained 37 people for allegedly sharing

“provocative (煽動的)” content on social media following Imamoglu's arrest.
