Record-breaking highs on Wall Street have been replicated in stock markets across Asia, with the Taiwan Stock Exchange today displaying similar positive sentiment, opening and closing on a high, pushing the TAIEX past the 9,700-point mark to create a new 21-month high.
The TAIEX closed up on 44.73 points, or 0.46 percent, on 9710.32 points with the day’s transactions totaling NT$99.23 billion. The positive performance of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and Hon Hai Precision Industry’s stocks helped to boost morale of bullish investors, and a price correction in financial stocks failed to dampen investors’ spirits. Small and mid-cap stocks continued their outstanding run, causing the TPEx Index to outperform the TAIEX.
Analysts note that although the TAIEX initially surged forward on a wave of bullish sentiment on the first day of trading in the Year of the Rooster, once the TAIEX hit the 9,700 point mark, market impetus appeared to fizzle out.

Total transactions today dipped below NT$100 billion: a 25 percent reduction on last Friday’s figure. Analysts say this shows that once the index hit a new high, bullish investors were not prepared to buy at high prices. Some fear that large-cap stocks may fail to gain impetus and that the TAIEX may experience short-term volatility.

美股再創歷史新高，亞股普遍跟進走揚，台股今天也演出開高走高的亮麗走勢，攻上九千七百點大關，再創二十一個月以來新高。
加權股價指數終場上漲四十四點七三點、漲幅百分之零點四六、收在九千七百一十點三二點、成交值新台幣九百九十億二千三百萬元，其中，台積電、鴻海穩住多頭軍心，雖然金融股出現過高回檔的走勢，但無阻多頭攻堅的決心，中小型股表現依舊突出，櫃買指數漲幅優於加權指數。
分析師表示，台股在金雞年開紅盤後一路強攻，多頭氣勢驚人，不過隨著指數來到九千七百點、量能似有跟不上的狀況。
今天成交值下滑到千億元以下，較十日減少約百分之二十五，顯示指數創高後多頭追價意願不足，大型股恐出現量能不濟的狀況，指數短線可能出現震盪走勢。

Historians are rethinking the way the Holocaust is being presented in museums as the world marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the last Nazi concentration camps this month. Shocking images of the mass killings of Jews were “used massively at the end of World War II to show the violence of the Nazis,” historian Tal Bruttmann, a specialist on the Holocaust, told AFP. But in doing so “we kind of lost sight of the fact that is not normal to show” such graphic scenes of mass murder, of people being humiliated and dehumanized, he said. Up to this
When people listen to music today, they typically use streaming services like YouTube or Spotify. However, traditional formats like vinyl records have regained popularity in recent times. Vinyl records are circular discs that store music in grooves on their surfaces and are played on a turntable. As the turntable’s needle runs along these grooves, it picks up vibrations and translates them into sound. The history of vinyl records dates back to the late 1800s, but material and technological challenges delayed mass production until the 1950s. Despite early versions having short playtimes and poor sound quality, vinyl records introduced a new era
