Technical analysis shows the U.S. Dollar slightly pulling back against the Japanese Yen, with Non-farm Payroll on Friday expected to impact currency markets. A potential pullback to the 160 yen level, previously supported by the Bank of Japan, is anticipated due to overextension. The interest rate differential favors buying dips rather than shorting the pair, as the Federal Reserve's expected rate cuts still maintain a significant interest rate advantage over the Bank of Japan's limitations in adjusting rates due to high country debt. Overall, the forecast suggests a continued bullish trend for the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen.

With the increasing severity of global warming and climate change, Taiwan may face the absence of winter in the future. According to a research fellow at the Environmental Change Center of the Academia Sinica, if global warming can be controlled within 2 degrees Celsius, winter may be reduced to only 40 to 50 days. The impacts of extreme weather and water scarcity have led to a drastic decrease in orange juice production in places like Florida and Brazil, resulting in soaring prices. Climate change is also affecting food crops in Taiwan, with predictions of longer and hotter summers, leading to a decrease in rice and corn production. The consequences of climate change also include rising food prices and challenges in sustaining energy loads on the island.

Reuters reported that due to vague provisions regarding 'separatist activities' in China's recent statement on punishing those who split or incite subversion, some foreign-funded enterprises in China have been arranging for their Taiwanese employees to leave out of concern for their safety. As of 2022, an estimated 177,000 Taiwanese individuals work in China, with many employed by multinational corporations or Taiwanese businesses investing in China. Some companies have been discussing safety issues with employees, with some Taiwanese workers already accepting offers to leave China. This move by China is seen as potentially forcing foreign companies to completely withdraw Taiwanese staff from China, affecting business operations and potentially reducing the number of Taiwanese residents in China, making Beijing's efforts to win over Taiwanese sentiment more challenging.
