How did the New Taiwan Dollar move intraday on August 7?
According to the Central News Agency (CNA), the New Taiwan Dollar (新台幣) opened at 32.24 against the US dollar on August 7, 2026, then traded within a range of 32.20 (session high) to 32.276 (session low) before the market reached its midday snapshot [E8]. At that midday mark, CNA reported the currency at 32.234, up 2.7 fen (NT$0.027) from the prior close, on turnover of $832 million [E7]. A same-day report from United Daily News (UDN), citing CNA, carried an identical set of figures — open at 32.24, intraday high of 32.20, low of 32.276, and a midday rate of 32.234, up 2.7 fen, with $832 million in turnover [E5][E6].
What is the three-day midday trend from August 4 to August 7?
Lining up the midday snapshots reported by CNA and UDN across the three trading days shows the following pattern:
| Date | Midday Rate | Change vs. Prior Close | Turnover |
|---|
| Aug 4 | 32.43 | +0.8 fen (NT$0.008) | $780 million [E1] |
| Aug 5 | 32.295 | +1.52 jiao (NT$0.152) | $1.263 billion [E3] |
| Aug 7 | 32.234 | +2.7 fen (NT$0.027) | $832 million [E5][E7] |
CNA's own August 5 report characterized that day's move as a "strong appreciation" (強升), tied to the 1.52 jiao change — a larger unit move than the 0.8 fen and 2.7 fen shifts logged on August 4 and August 7 respectively [E3]. Turnover also varied across the three sessions, peaking at $1.263 billion on August 5 before easing back to $832 million on August 7 [E3][E7].
How did the early sessions unfold on August 4 and 5?
On August 4, CNA reported the New Taiwan Dollar opening at 32.46, with an early-session high of 32.40 and a low of 32.465 [E2]. The following day, August 5, the opening rate was 32.42, with an early-session high of 32.274 and a low of 32.42 — meaning the day's low matched its opening level [E4]. By comparison, the August 7 session opened lower still, at 32.24, with a high of 32.20 and a low of 32.276, as reported by both CNA and UDN [E6][E8].
What this means
Across the three sessions with midday data, the New Taiwan Dollar's midday rate moved from 32.43 (Aug 4) to 32.295 (Aug 5) to 32.234 (Aug 7), each accompanied by a same-day appreciation figure reported by CNA: 0.8 fen, 1.52 jiao, and 2.7 fen respectively [E1][E3][E7]. CNA itself flagged the August 5 move as comparatively sharp (強升), consistent with that day recording both the largest unit change and the highest turnover of the three sessions, at $1.263 billion, versus $780 million on August 4 and $832 million on August 7 [E1][E3][E7]. Notably, the August 7 figures — open, high, low, midday rate, change, and turnover — were reported identically by CNA and UDN, indicating the two outlets' coverage of that day's midday rate was directly consistent [E5][E6][E7][E8].
