Nvidia earnings lift Taiwan dollar past 31.8 as foreign money flows in

Aug 26, 2026

Foreign cash is pouring back into Taiwan after strong Nvidia results, pushing the Taiwan dollar to a two-month high — good for Taiwanese stocks and importers, awkward for exporters.

  • Nvidia beat expectations, lifting Asian tech stocks and sending Taiwan's market up more than 400 points.
  • Foreign investors moved money into Taiwan, driving the Taiwan dollar past 31.8 per US dollar.
  • US inflation came in stickier than hoped, so the dollar strengthened and most other Asian currencies weakened — the yen slid back toward 160.
  • Traders now put the odds of a Fed rate hike in September near 44%, a big shift from earlier bets.

Outlook: All eyes turn to the Jackson Hole central bank meeting, where Fed chair Warsh's comments will set the tone for rates and the dollar.
