The Taiwanese dollar depreciated to around 32.2 per US dollar, its weakest level since April 2025, pressured by a stronger US dollar and seasonal capital outflows. The decline erased the currency's gains from last year's rally, which was fueled by optimism over trade relations and strong technology-sector earnings. Selling pressure intensified as companies began distributing annual cash dividends, prompting foreign investors, who hold substantial stakes in Taiwanese chipmakers, to convert dividend proceeds into US dollars. This year's cash distributions are projected to exceed NT$2.5 trillion, the highest on record. Meanwhile, expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates higher for longer continued to support the US dollar, adding to downside pressure on Taiwan's currency.
