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.

The net asset value (NAV) of an ETF refers to the total actual value of all the underlying investments, while the market price of an ETF refers to the price at which it is traded by investors in the secondary market. When there is a difference between the NAV and the market price, it may indicate different market expectations regarding the future performance of the ETF.
To find the current market price and net asset value (NAV) of an ETF, investors can visit the fund company's official website or the Taiwan Stock Exchange Market Observation Post System. By comparing the NAV of each ETF, investors can determine whether the ETF is currently trading at a discount or a premium.

In simple terms, futures are a type of financial contract for trading goods in the future. The buyer and seller agree to trade a specific commodity at a certain price at a certain time. By using futures contracts, both parties can lock in the future transaction price of the commodity, thereby avoiding price volatility risks. Futures contracts can be broadly classified into two categories: commodity futures and financial futures.

Foreign exchange (forex) refers to foreign currencies. When we treat foreign currencies as a commodity and trade them with domestic currency at an agreed price (exchange rate), it is called forex trading.
