Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 10-points this morning from Friday's close, at 18,899 on
turnover of 5.1-billion N-T.
The market gained ground on Friday, as it joined other regional indexes and
ended the day higher following Nvidia's delivering of another set of blowout
(陡峭上漲) quarterly results, setting off a rally in tech companies.
More Food Products Recalled for Containing Banned Dye
In news from and about Taiwan this morning,
The Miaoli County Public Health Bureau says it has recalled and pulled more
food products and store shelves islandwide for containing a banned industrial
dye.
The latest products include carrot cookies and white pepper biscuits.
According to the bureau, it has asked Miaoli-based Hsin Hao Foods to recall
4,302 boxes of carrot cookies and 192 boxes of white pepper biscuits found to
contain Sudan III.
Health bureau officials say the origin (起源，源頭) of the chemical has been
identified as coming from a Chinese chili powder supplier that shipped the
product to a New Taipei raw material dealer.
Kaohsiung Rubber Ducks Draw 9-Million Visitors in a Month
The Kaohsiung City Government says the two giant rubber ducks created by
Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman have drawn more than 9-million visitors since
they went on display at the Love River Bay on January 27.
The ducks were the centerpiece (最重要的部分；最吸引人的部分) of the city's
2024 Wonderland festival, which wrapped-up on Sunday.
A special event was held in the square in front of the Kaohsiung Music Center
last night to give the two ducks a send-off (歡送).
The city government says more than 200,000 people visited the Love River Bay
each day the ducks were on display there and that gave Kaohsiung's economy a
boost of more than 10-billion N-T.
Ukraine Troop Losses
Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy is refuting (反駁) Putin's claims on
military losses since the start of Russia's invasion.

France Eiffel Tower Reopens
The Eiffel Tower has reopened to visitors after a six-day closure because of
striking employees demanding better maintenance of the historic landmark and
salary hikes.
The operator of the 330-meter tower said Sunday it reached an agreement with
unions representing the workers after promising to allocate (分配) about $412
million investment by 2031 for renovation work.
This week, it also launched salary negotiations, expected to be finalized
next month, after employees on strike demanded an increase proportionate to
revenue from ticket sales.
The 135-year-old tower will feature prominently in the Olympics and
Paralympics starting in July.
The Olympic and Paralympic medals in Paris are being embedded with pieces
from a hexagonal chunk of iron taken from the historic landmark.
That was the I.C.R.T. news,
