Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 10-points this morning from yesterday's close at 23,888
on turnover of 9.2-billion N-T.
The market rose by more than 300 points on Monday to close at yet another
all-time high.
That was on the back of strong investor interest in Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing and Hon Hai.
Analysts say sentiment (觀點，看法) improved after major U-S indexes hit
record highs at the end of last week.

High Court Rescinds Bail for Former Taoyuan Mayor
The High Court has revoked a decision by the Taoyuan District Court to

Cheng was released on bail Saturday after being questioned by the Taoyuan
District Prosecutors' Office in connection with an investigation into
corruption (貪污，腐敗) while he served as Taoyuan mayor.
The High Court has ordered another bail hearing because of what it's
describing as several unanswered questions left by the district court in
allowing bail.
The Taoyuan District Court is holding a new bail hearing this morning.

Brazil Report on Bolsonaro Jewelry Embezzlement Unsealed
Brazil’s Federal Police allege former President Jair Bolsonaro embezzled
jewelry worth about $1.2 million during his time in office.
The report on its investigation was unsealed Monday by the Brazilian Supreme
Court.
It, alleges there was “a criminal association for the embezzlement of
high-value gifts that were received due to the position of former President
Jair Bolsonaro.”
The jewelry included diamond-encrusted Rolex watches, a necklace, rings and
cufflinks (袖扣), among other items.
The report says some of the presents were given to government staffers acting
on Bolsonaro’s behalf during international trips.
Bolsonaro was indicted last week charging embezzlement, asset laundering and
criminal association in connection with luxury jewelry.
The investigation adds pressure to the far-right leader who governed in
2019-2022 before losing his reelection bid to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
He has already lost his political rights until 2030.
