×Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 228-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 18,773 on turnover of 11-billion N-T. Taiwan stocks finished up 9.25 percent Thursday, surging more than 1,600 points at the market's opening after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on his steep "reciprocal" tariffs on most countries. Three heavyweight stocks -- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), Hon Hai (Foxconn) and MediaTek -- hit their limit-up prices. The market subsequently (隨後) flattened out, with many stocks hitting their daily 10 percent limit-up prices, which also kept turnover relatively low. Taiwan and Cambodia in talks over sending of 179 fraud suspects to China Criminal Investigation Bureau says Taiwan is continuing talks with Cambodia to prevent 179 Taiwan fraud suspects from being deported to China. According to a member of bureau's liaison officer in Ho Chi Minh City, negotiations are on going in order that the suspects are sent to Taiwan instead to face legal consequences. The statement comes after media reports out of Cambodia haven suggesting that the Taiwan suspects were to be handed over to China as a goodwill (善意) gesture to Beijing. The Taiwanese suspects were all arrested on March 31 during raids of an online telecommunication fraud center in Phnom Penh. Reports say they are currently scheduled to be deported to China on Sunday along with over 300 Chinese nationals. Israel Frees 10 Palestinian Prisoners Israel has freed 10 Palestinians detained from Gaza, the latest in periodic releases from the thousands of people troops have seized during the military campaign in the territory. The men returned to the Gaza Strip and said they had suffered frequent abuse while imprisoned, including beatings. They were welcomed by family members at a hospital in central Gaza. There was no immediate comment by the military. Israeli officials have said that they abide by (遵守) the letter of the law in the treatment of prisoners and investigate violations. But there have been widespread reports of abuse of Palestinian detainees in military prison camps and civilian prisons. US Stocks Fall as Trump Confirms 145Percent China Tariffs U.S. stocks fell on Thursday as President Trump clarified that he had raised tariffs on Chinese goods by a total of 145 percent. It comes as new inflation data shows that U.S. inflation eased more than expected in March but economists suggest this is likely to be a temporary reprieve (暫時緩解) before tariffs take effect. Kate Fisher reports from Washington Canada Mounties Bust BC Drug Labs Canadian police have dismantled three drug labs in the Pacific-coast province of British Columbia. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police also arrested two suspects, including someone described as a “chemist,” but no charges have yet been laid as the police probe continues.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 122-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 18,337 on turnover of 12.5-billion N-T. The market extended its losses from the previous session on Tuesday - declining more than 700 points - but the downturn was capped as some investors appeared willing to move to the buy side.

NSB majority of espionage cases involve active, ex-military personnel The National Security Bureau says prosecutors have indicted 159 people suspected of spying for China since 2020 and of that total 60-per cent of them were active-duty or retired military personnel.

According to the report, China is actively recruiting retired miltary personnel and using them to approach active members, recruiting through the internet, enticing (引誘) them with payments, and targeting indebted service members. National Security Bureau Director-General Tsai Ming-yen is scheduled to explain further details of the report during a legislative hearing later today.

Argentina Reaches IMF Deal for Bailout The International Monetary Fund says it's reached a preliminary agreement with cash-strapped Argentina on a $20 billion bailout package. The IMF says the loan is a 48-month arrangement, and "builds on the authorities’ impressive early progress in stabilizing the economy”. As a staff-level agreement, the deal announced Tuesday still requires final approval from the IMF’s executive board. The deal delivers a lifeline to President Javier Milei, who has slashed inflation and stabilized the economy after years of turmoil with a harsh austerity program. But without cash from the international lender, he has been unable to rebuild the scarce (幾乎沒有,稀有的) foreign exchange reserves he inherited, which he needs to repay debts and lift Argentina’s strict currency controls.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 167-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 22,093 on turnover of 5.4-billion N-T.

The slump came after tech stocks took hit on Wall Street overnight - as the Nasdaq lost 2-per cent.

They're also arguing that "in order to defend" Taiwan's "democracy, rule of law, peace and security," the government should "adhere to the constitutional system and take immediate and effective measures to improve cross-strait relations." NKorea Kim Observes Drone Tests North Korea says leader Kim Jong Un observed tests of newly developed reconnaissance and attack drones this week and called for their increased production.
