EZ News 06/03/24

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.


Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 214-points this morning from Friday's close, at 21,388
on turnover of 7.2-billion N-T.

The market lost ground on Friday, as investors reacted to Wall Street
declining overnight following mixed profit reports from some big tech
companies and after an official survey showed Chinese factory activity
weakening in May on slowing export orders.


AMD Head Lisa Su to Deliver Opening Keynote Speech at Computex 2024
Advanced Micro Devices Chairwoman and CEO Lisa Su has been delivering the
opening keynote speech at Computex 2024 in Taipei.

The address was entitled "The future of high-performance computing in the AI
era."

And in it Su shared how her company and its partners are leading the way in
developing the next generation of high-performance personal computers, data
centers, and A-I solutions.

Reports have been saying A-M-D is planning to invest about 5-billion N-T to
set up a research and development center here in Taiwan.

The local governments in Tainan and Kaohsiung are both courting
(企圖獲得，追求) the company in a bid to secure the capital allocation.



Boxer Huang Hsiao-wen Secures Paris Olympics Berth
Taiwan's Huang Hsiao-wen has secured her place at the Paris Olympics boxing
event.

She won the second boxing qualification tournament in Bangkok.

According to the Olympic organizers, boxers in the women's 54-kilogram
category qualify when they reach the semifinals in the tournament, which
Huang has done.

Huang's coach Liu Zong-tai says the pressure had been piling on (堆起來)
Huang.

She failed to secure a place in the Olympics at the 2023 Asian Games and at
the first qualification tournament held in Italy in March.

In addition to Huang, female boxers Chen Nien-qin, Lin Yu-ting, and Wu Shi-yi
and male boxers Kan Chia-wei and Lai Chu-en have also secured spots at the
Summer Games.


Ukraine Imposes Emergency Power Shutdowns
Ukraine has imposed emergency power shutdowns in most of the country a day
after Russia unleashed large-scale attacks on energy infrastructure
(基礎設施).

The shutdowns Sunday are in place in all but three regions of Ukraine.

This comes after Saturday’s drone and missile attack on energy targets that
injured at least 19 people.

Ukraine’s state-owned power grid operator said the shutdowns affected both
industrial and household consumers.

Sustained Russian attacks on Ukraine’s power grid in recent weeks have
forced the government to institute nationwide rolling blackouts.

Earlier this week, four U.S. officials, who requested anonymity, said
President Joe Biden had given Ukraine the go-ahead to use American weaponry
to strike inside Russia for the limited purpose of defending Kharkiv.



Mexico Polls Close in Presidential Election
Polls have closed in Mexico's presidential election, with the Latin American
country poised to (將要) elect its first-ever female president.

However, the historic election has been marred by political violence.

Ira Spitzer reports.


That was the I.C.R.T. news,

Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded
every day in the afternoon.

Enjoy the rest of your day, I'm _____.
