The Taiwan Carbon Exchange was inaugurated last year and officially launched carbon credit trading this year, enabling companies to reduce emissions through the transfer and trading of carbon credits, thereby promoting domestic carbon reduction. Carbon credits, carbon fees, and carbon taxes are all carbon pricing tools; carbon credits allow companies to trade emissions quotas, while carbon fees and taxes are charged based on emissions volume. Taiwan's carbon credit market is currently focused on voluntary transactions. Key beneficiary stocks include companies in carbon offset forestry, green energy production, carbon capture, and carbon auditing. As the world advances toward net-zero emissions, these related industries are expected to see growth opportunities.

Recent volatility in global stock markets has intensified due to the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike, primarily driven by the yen's appreciation and the unwinding of large-scale carry trades. In a carry trade, investors borrow low-interest yen and invest in higher-yield assets like U.S. Treasuries or U.S. equities to earn a yield differential. However, the Bank of Japan's rate hike has pushed up the yen’s exchange rate, increasing both currency and liquidity risks. This has prompted investors to swiftly unwind their positions to repay yen loans, creating selling pressure in the market. This shift has reduced the attractiveness of carry trades and impacted market liquidity.

Options are a type of financial derivative that combines both "rights" and "obligations." The advantage of options lies in leverage, allowing one to pay only a portion of the premium while obtaining the right to trade in the future. The rights, obligations, profits, and risks of options will vary depending on whether one is the buyer or the seller.
