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

adding momentum to the tech sector.

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)

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.

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."

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.
