The Tai-Ex opened up 47-points this morning from Friday's close, at 27,674 on

Reserve will cut key interest rates later this month.

a technical failure in the U-S.

Report: Global Arms Producers Saw Revenue Increase
A new report says that the world’s biggest weapons-producing companies saw a
5.9% increase in revenue from sales of arms and military services last year
as demand was fed by (由…供給/提供) the wars in Ukraine and Gaza as well as
countries’ rising military spending.

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute says today that the
revenues of the 100 largest arms makers grew to $679 billion in 2024, the
highest figure it has recorded.

The bulk of the increase was down to companies based in Europe and the United
States, but there were increases around the world — except in Asia and
Oceania, where problems in the Chinese arms industry led to a slight fall.



Italy Digital Copies of Masterpieces for Museum Funds
Italian cultural officials are offering digital copies of Italian
masterpieces as part of a new project to help museums raise money.

The nonprofit Save the Artistic Heritage, with its technical partner Cinello,
is behind this initiative.

They provide digital projections of Italian masterpieces, complete with
certificates of authenticity (真正的,真實性).

Participating museums receive 50% of the profits.

Over two years, Save the Artistic Heritage has contributed about
$347-thousand US dollars to Italian museums.

Each digital artwork is sold in a limited series of nine.

The project aims to help museums access new income streams and expand
globally, including plans for the United States.
