During the parliamentary session on June 29, 2024, there were continuous debates in the Legislative Yuan, potentially leading to an ad hoc meeting. The Nationalist Party group decided to prioritize creating an investigation team to probe the Mirror Media case and the Super Thinking Purchase Egg case over establishing an investigative committee as suggested by the People Party group. Regarding the National Communications Commission (NCC) personnel approval case, the Nationalist Party group planned to address it in a later ad hoc meeting in late August due to procedural regulations. They also emphasized the importance of forming investigation teams for flexibility in the current stage. The process of setting up such teams does not face the same one-month freeze period that occurs during the proposal of investigative committees, thus enabling quicker action on the cases.

Public banks are optimistic about the performance of the US dollar in the second half of the year, especially in the third quarter, while also cautioning investors to pay attention to the Euro, Yen, and other non-US currencies if the US cuts interest rates in September. Major sources of volatility in the second half of the year include inflation, stagnant economic growth, elections in Europe and the US, geopolitical conflicts, housing market reforms in mainland China, Fed's interest rate cut timing, trade restrictions, and credit defaults. Banks suggest holding onto the US dollar in the third quarter due to various factors such as slow inflation rate decrease, strong economy, and expectations of only a slight interest rate cut by the Fed this year, making US dollar-denominated products more attractive compared to other major currencies.
