Hopes for Middle East peace talks re-emerged as Israel agreed to direct negotiations with Lebanon, boosting investor confidence and leading to a rally in US stocks.

Three major institutional investors collectively bought NT$37.896 billion in Taiwan stocks, with foreign investors accounting for NT$28.08 billion.
The New Taiwan Dollar, reflecting the strong US dollar, opened at NT$31.72 today. As Taiwan stocks surged and foreign capital flowed in, it appreciated to a high of NT$31.71.

Foreign exchange traders stated that foreign investors engaged in two-way operations in the foreign exchange market today, with significant dip-buying. The exchange rate fluctuated between NT$31.73 and NT$31.75, with overall buying and selling forces balanced, leading to a stable market trend. Due to minimal exchange rate fluctuations, the central bank has mostly adopted a hands-off approach recently.
Foreign exchange traders pointed out that the volatile situation in the Middle East still maintains a wait-and-see atmosphere in the market, but related concerns have somewhat eased.
