Global attention! Price pressure, U.S. and Japan are more likely to raise interest rates
Global central banks will debut next week. With the release of consumer price level data in various countries, the market generally expects that the United States and Japan have a high chance of raising interest rates. As for whether the Central Bank of Taiwan will raise interest rates, analysts believe that the interest rate hikes in the United States and Japan will not drive Taiwan to also raise interest rates. On the one hand, the range is limited. Even if the United States raises interest rates, the range will only be one cent. A small step to suppress inflation will not easily put pressure on Taiwan. Secondly, the economic problems encountered by each country are different.
See Global Attention for details! Price pressure: The probability of interest rate hikes in the United States and Japan has increased.

Zhuo Kui counter-signs the opposition version of drone regulations
The Legislative Yuan passed the opposition version of the "Unmanned Vehicle Ordinance" in the third reading at the end of last month, and the outside world questioned whether the Executive Yuan might not countersign it. Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan Zhang Dunhan announced on the 11th that although the version passed by the Legislative Yuan on the third reading was not the original version proposed by the Executive Yuan, "national defense and security cannot wait, nor can industrial upgrading." Therefore, Executive President Zhuo Yongtai has countersigned. President Lai Qingde also announced it later. In this regard, the Kuomintang put forward three major propositions, demanding that the remaining eight cases that were previously not countersigned by the Political Yuan should be dealt with as soon as possible and in accordance with the law. KMT Chairman Zheng Liwen criticized that Zhuo's "not countersigning" in the past to excuse the third reading of the law by the National Assembly was the main culprit of the political deadlock. Zhang Dunhan emphasized the "two major insistences" and "do something and do something not to do" with regard to the controversial bill.
