Market Chatter: Price Stability Takes Priority Over Exports, Taiwan Central Bank Says

Taiwan's central bank prioritizes price stability over export competitiveness when managing foreign exchange intervention, Taiwan News reported Monday, citing central bank's Deputy Governor Yen Tzung-ta.While addressing reporters, Yen said the central bank's efforts to stabilize the Taiwan dollar can help cushion imported inflation pressures linked to rising global oil prices amid the Iran conflict. He noted that while international commodity prices have increased due to the geopolitical tensions, imported inflation in Taiwan remains manageable.Lawmakers warned that a weaker Taiwan dollar could raise import costs and asked if limits should be imposed on foreign investors repatriating funds after selling shares. Deputy Governor Yen said such controls would be difficult under Taiwan's open capital system, noting that existing rules already require funds to stay in the market if not immediately withdrawn.He added that the central bank will continue monitoring developments in the Middle East and global financial conditions, reportedly.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

Middle East Escalation Could Cost Asia Up to $299 Billion, UNDP Warns

The ongoing military escalation in the Middle East could inflict economic losses of up to $299 billion across Asia and the Pacific, as higher fuel, freight and input costs ripple through regional economies, UNDP's latest assessment report release Tuesday showed.The report said the shock is weakening household purchasing power, increasing food insecurity, straining public budgets and undermining livelihoods, particularly in countries heavily reliant on imported energy and food, as well as those exposed to Gulf trade routes, labor markets and remittance flows.It estimated that under a 28-day disruption scenario, regional output losses could range between $97 billion and $299 billion, equivalent to 0.3% to 0.8% of GDP, with South Asia facing the most pronounced impact.Around 8.8 million people across 14 countries could fall into poverty, including more than 5 million in Iran, where the poverty rate may rise from 36% to 41.5%, according to the simulations.The report, prepared as of April 9, draws on inputs from 22 UNDP country offices covering 36 countries, alongside modelling and external data. It noted that outcomes will depend heavily on the duration and intensity of the conflict, with risks rising further if disruptions persist.

Trump Declares Immediate U.S. Navy Blockade of Hormuz After Iran Talks Fail

U.S. President Donald Trump warned on social media that the U.S. Navy would immediately begin blockading all ships attempting to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz after a failed talk with Tehran.Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday that while the goal is eventually to reach an "all being allowed to go in, all being allowed to go out" arrangement, Iran has prevented this by citing vague concerns about undisclosed mines."Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, 'There may be a mine out there somewhere,' that nobody knows about but them," Trump wrote.Trump further directed the Navy to intercept any vessel in international waters that has paid a toll to Iran while also ordering the destruction of mines allegedly laid by Iran in the strait and warning that any Iranian attack on U.S. or peaceful vessels would result in them being "BLOWN TO HELL."Meanwhile, Reuters News, citing the U.S. Central Command, reported that the blockade of all maritime traffic to and from Iranian ports is set to begin at 10 a.m. ET on Monday.The command clarified that freedom of navigation would remain unaffected for ships transiting the strait to non-Iranian ports, with formal notices to be issued to commercial mariners beforehand, the newswire said.
