Taiwan Dollar: Growth and AI flows anchor TWD – Commerzbank
Commerzbank reports that USD/TWD traded steadily around 31.37, with realised one‑month volatility near 4.5%, lower than several regional peers. Taiwan’s Q1 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was revised up sharply to 14.6% year-on-year, the strongest since 1987, driven by robust exports and AI-related semiconductor demand. DGBAS raised its full-year growth forecast to 9.6%, supporting ongoing capital inflows.
Strong GDP and AI cycle support TWD
"The final Q1 GDP was revised up more than expected to 14.6% yoy from 13.7% in the advance estimate (Bloomberg consensus: 13.7%) vs 13.0% in Q4 2025."
"DGBAS raised its full-year growth forecast to 9.6% from 7.7%, reflecting the stronger-than-expected demand for AI-related products."
"Looking ahead, growth momentum is expected to remain firm, driven by sustained AI-related demand."
"DGBAS expects this share to rise to 40% by year-end as tech firms fulfill its strong capex commitment to developing AI-related infrastructure."
"This low-volatility regime in USD/TWD is sustained by persistent inflows from the trade surplus and portfolio inflows linked to the AI-related equity rally."

Five factors are combining to intensify, JPMorgan: Global food crisis may erupt next year
JPMorgan has warned that driven by the combined effects of war, weather, storage, water resources, and waste, a global food crisis may erupt in the first half of 2027. The global food inflation rate is expected to rise from 2.8% in the first half of 2026 to 5% in the first half of 2027. The overlap of a super El Niño and energy shocks will push the Food CPI up by an additional 1.5 percentage points, with emerging markets such as India, Indonesia, and Brazil being the most affected.
