Hold on, the market is about to open—let’s first take a look at the current situation. Although the holiday U.S.-Iran exchange of fire has been canceled and the talks won’t take place, it’s still expected that they will resume within the next few days. Even though last Friday the Taiwan stock market and the U.S. stock market both fell sharply, in the end the Taiwan index futures’ overnight session rebounded by 1.22%.
Right now, the three major U.S. stock index futures are up in the overnight session by 0.5% to 1%. The U.S. dollar index continues to stay around 101. Bitcoin and gold are down slightly, about 1%. Oil prices have been holding around $70 and have not been affected by the U.S.-Iran exchange of fire.
South Korea’s market opened down nearly 2%. Japan’s Nikkei is up 0.5%.
Will Taiwan’s stock market be able to hold steady today, right??

💡 Where are ordinary people’s opportunities in the next 5 years?
Not in the big headwinds—capital, channels, supply chains, traffic—someone has already claimed the slots.
The real opportunities are actually in small demands that big companies find too much trouble to handle.

✅ Shared characteristics: · Real customers and clear, specific needs · Low cost to get started · Big players are unwilling to do it
