While the currency showed brief strength, concerns over sluggish demand and limited global confidence threaten its recovery. Investment managers caution that the rally may not hold without concrete improvements in export-driven growth. Despite Taiwan's robust reserves, the economic outlook remains lukewarm due to weak global demand and ongoing trade uncertainties.
