ChainCatcher news, QCP Capital stated that the New Taiwan Dollar surged 8% this Monday, and other Asia-Pacific currencies like the Korean Won also generally strengthened. The spot rate of the New Taiwan Dollar and the one-year forward contract spread reached a 20-year high. This is mainly driven by rising market speculation regarding the US-Taiwan trade agreement, as well as Taiwanese insurance institutions increasing their dollar asset hedging.QCP believes this could be an early signal of a global capital flow adjustment, similar to the significant volatility in the Japanese Yen last year due to interest rate differentials.
