Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 10-points this morning from Friday's close, at 23,927 on
turnover of 9.1-billion N-T.
The Tai-Ex tumbled more than 470-points on Friday as investors rushed to lock
in gains from previous sessions.
That's despite the U-S reporting cooler than expected inflation data for June
overnight.
Market watchers say selling was sparked by heavy losses suffered by tech
stocks on Wall Street overnight - which pushed down the local bellwether
electronics sector throughout the trading day.
CKS Honor Guard Performs for Final Time Inside Memorial Hall
The military's changing of the guard has taken place inside the Chiang
Kai-shek Memorial Hall for the final time.
The curtain came down in the stationing of an honor guard in front of the
statue of Chiang Kai-shek on Sunday.
The changing of the guard had taken place there every hour between 9AM and
5PM since the hall's opening in 1980.
The Ministry of Culture announced on Friday that Sunday would be the last
time the honor guard would perform inside the hall.
The ministry says the move marks the first stage of removing "personal and
authoritarian (獨裁的) worship."
Troops will still perform a handover ceremony every hour - but it will now
take place on Democracy Boulevard in front of the memorial hall.
Sunday's High Hits 38.4-degrees in Pingtung
And finally,
The Central Weather Administration says temperatures of 37-degrees or higher

The temperature reached 38.3-degrees in New Taipei's Sanxia District,

Township.
Readings of 37-degrees or higher were also seen in Taipei, Yilan, Hualien,
Taitung, Changhua County, Tainan and Kaohsiung as well as in Kinmen.

King Charles to Visit Australia and Samoa
King Charles III is preparing to visit Australia and Samoa in October.
The trip, announced on Sunday by Buckingham Palace, marks a watershed moment
for the 75-year-old king.
The moarch has been slowly returning to public duties after taking a break
following his cancer diagnosis in early February.
His itinerary will span 12 time zones (時區) and test the monarch’s stamina
as he recovers from cancer treatment.
The palace says his program in Australia will be "limited".
That was the I.C.R.T. news,
Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded
every day in the afternoon.
Enjoy the rest of your day, I'm _____.
