Orders soar for Taiwan cleanroom firms amid global chip industry expansion
Much of this growth is tied to TSMC's massive investment of $65 billion in three chip factories, known as "fabs," in Arizona. The first fab has already started mass production, and the second is nearly finished. With a total order backlog of NTD (New Taiwan dollar) 132.27 billion ($4.45 billion), UIS is expected to receive even more orders later in 2025. Experts predict the company will have its highest-ever sales in 2025. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Taiwanese cleanroom companies are receiving a wave of new orders as major global chipmakers expand production around the world, especially in the United States and Southeast Integrated Services Co.

What is Min Yoongi Treatment Center? All we know about BTS' SUGA's impressive 5 billion KRW MIND program
BTS member SUGA has donated 5 billion KRW (approx. USD 3.62 million) to fund the establishment of a medical facility. It's dedicated to treating children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). According to a statement released by Severance Hospital on June 23, 2025, the donation will be used to build and operate a new center in Seoul. It'll provide individualized therapies for young patients. This donation marks the largest single financial contribution in the history of both Severance Children's Hospital and its affiliated Yonsei University Medical Center. Center set to open in September The upcoming Min Yoongi Treatment Center, named after SUGA 's legal name, is scheduled to open in September 2025. The center will provide various services for children diagnosed with ASD. They include language development, behavioral support, psychological assessments, and ongoing therapy. A core feature of the center will be the integration of music-based therapeutic activities into conventional treatment plans. It aims to enhance the patients' ability to express emotions and improve communication. 7-month collab with pediatric psychiatry specialist SUGA began working on this project in late 2024, after being introduced to Professor Cheon Geun Ah, a specialist in pediatric psychiatry at Severance Hospital. The two began discussions in November 2024. SUGA expressed interest in exploring how music could be utilized as a form of therapy for children on the autism spectrum. During their collaboration, Professor Cheon shared that customized treatment was difficult to implement within current systems. It's due to a lack of resources and tailored programs. Development of the MIND program As a result of these discussions, SUGA and Professor Cheon jointly created the MIND program. The acronym stands for Music, Interaction, Network, and Diversity. The program is designed to encourage emotional and social interaction through structured musical activities. It includes instrument play, singing, and creative writing. The goal of MIND is to support emotional development and interpersonal relationships in children with autism. Direct involvement in trial program From March to June 2025, SUGA reportedly participated in the development and testing of the MIND program. On weekends, he attended pilot sessions held at the hospital. He observed children's interactions and occasionally guided them through musical exercises. During these sessions, children were encouraged to wait their turn, express their feelings through sound, and collaborate with others in musical activities. According to feedback from medical staff, the presence of structured music sessions had a noticeable impact on the children. SUGA reflects on project SUGA briefly addressed his involvement during the hospital's internal announcement. He stated, 'I genuinely felt that music can be a valuable method for expressing one's feelings and communicating with the world,' as quoted by Koreaboo. He added, 'Being part of the treatment process for children with autism spectrum disorder has been a big blessing and source of happiness for me.' SUGA expressed his intention to remain involved in initiatives that assist children in becoming more integrated members of society.

Rupee falls 17 paise to 86.72 against US dollar amid rise in global crude oil prices
Rupee declined 17 paise to 86.72 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday as global crude oil prices surged following the US's attack on three nuclear facilities in Iran. A strengthening dollar and weak domestic equity markets put further pressure on the local unit, according to forex traders. However, an increase in FII inflows and a rise in the country's forex reserves prevented further losses in the local currency, they said. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose 2 per cent to USD 77.27 per barrel in futures trade, while the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading 0.31 per cent higher at 99.01. "In a surprise action, the US attacked the nuclear facilities of Iran, taking Brent oil to their highest since January. Brent oil moved up to 77.27 per barrel, which is not much considering the intensity of attacks and Iran's pledge of retaliation. Live Events "Market participants surely fear that Iran may close the Gulf of Hormuz through which 1/5 of the world's global crude supply flows," Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director, Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, said. At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 86.75 against the US dollar before inching up to 86.72, down 17 paise from its previous close. The local unit had on Friday snapped a three-day losing streak to settle with a gain of 18 paise at 86.55 against the US dollar. "India seems to have managed its oil requirement from Russia and the US, avoiding buying oil from the Gulf to some extent. However, higher oil prices will surely affect India's current account and, therefore, a little weakening of rupee could happen while the RBI intervened to ensure orderliness in the market," he said. In the domestic equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex tumbled 705.65 points to 81,702.52 in early trade, while the 50-share NSE Nifty dropped 182.85 points to 24,929.55. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) purchased equities worth Rs 7,940.70 crore on a net basis on Friday, according to exchange data. The latest weekly data released by the Reserve Bank of India on Friday showed India's forex reserves rising USD 2.294 billion to USD 698.95 billion during the week ended June 13.
