The U.S. dollar edged up against Taiwan's currency in quiet trading, a mildly positive sign for dollar holders and Taiwanese exporters.

• The greenback gained slightly against the Taiwan dollar in Tuesday's session.
• Trading stayed modest, with turnover just above US$1.3 billion.
• The dollar moved in a narrow band all day, showing no real pressure in either direction.
• Taiwan's stock market ended higher as chip stocks bounced back, though trading there was also light.

Outlook: With volumes thin and the currency range-bound, expect more small moves unless a bigger signal arrives from the Fed or chip demand.
