Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 103-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
45,500 on turnover of $14-billion N-T.
Shares in Taiwan surged more than 1,200 points and closed above the
45,000-point mark Monday on an announcement by the United States and Iran
that they have reached a peace deal slated to be signed Friday.
Contract chipmaker TSMC rose 2.81 percent, contributing about 520 points to
the Taiex's rise and sending the electronics index up 2.97 percent.
Analysts say buying also rotated to passive electronics component makers,
adding momentum to the tech sector.
TFDA confirms no contaminated forumla imported
The Food and Drug Administration is confirming that a contaminated (受污染的)
infant formula in the US was not imported into Taiwan.
The product came under scrutiny after three cases of infant botulism (肉毒桿菌中毒)
were reported in the US.
The US CDC found that all three affected infants had consumed the formula.
Taiwanese officials say that there are no import records for the product over
the past three years.
According to the U.S. FDA, the three illnesses began between April and May
2026.
Testing of the infant formula in question and related investigations remain
ongoing.
US & Iran sign peace deal, starting more negotiations
US President Donald Trump says Washington and Tehran have signed a deal to
end the conflict (衝突) and start further negotiations on Iran’s nuclear
program.
The two sides are scheduled to take part in a signing ceremony on Friday in
Geneva.
Nick Harper reports from Washington.
UN Resolution Calls on Taliban to Reverse Crackdown on Women
The U.N. Security Council has unanimously adopted a resolution calling on
Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers to swiftly reverse their crackdown on women.
China’s U.N. Ambassador, whose country sponsored the resolution, said the
hope is that the Afghan government will “take more proactive measures to
protect human rights, especially the rights of women, and project an image of
openness, inclusivity (包容性) and responsibility.”
The resolution adopted on Monday extends the U.N. political mission in
Afghanistan until June 17, 2027.
It authorizes the mission to support humanitarian aid deliveries and promote
national and local governance “without any discrimination based on sex,
religion or ethnicity, with the full, equal, meaningful and safe
participation of women."
1st Edition Wuthering Heights Up for Auction
A rare first-edition copy of Emily Brontë’s novel "Wuthering Heights" is up
for auction for the first time in over a century.
Christie's auction house announced Monday that this is the first copy in the
publisher’s original cloth binding to be auctioned since 1908.
Only about 250 copies of the first edition were printed, and this one has
been in a private library since shortly after (不久之後) its publication in 1847.
The book, along with a copy of Anne Brontë’s "Agnes Grey," is expected to
sell for up to $800-thousand US dollars at a June 30th sale in London.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
