Currency markets were in a cautious mood on March 24 as investors took to the sidelines and the New Taiwan dollar remained range-bound throughout the day, closing flat at NT$30.488 against the US dollar.
Trade volumes at the Taipei Foreign Exchange and Cosmos Foreign Exchange markets totaled US$739 million and the NT dollar ended the week slightly up, appreciating by NT$0.138, or 0.45 percent.
Forex traders said US President Donald Trump’s tax reforms and the blocking of his healthcare reforms plunged markets back into a risk averse mood, causing US equities to fall from previous trading highs and currency markets across Asia to weaken. The Japanese yen continued to strengthen, while the NT dollar showed signs of a correction.
