Note on limited or unclear items in source data
The session summary references losses in an unnamed sector in addition to Computers & Peripherals and Semiconductor sectors; the original data did not provide a clear name for that sector. Similarly, the phrasing around TWD/CNY contains contrasting terms - both "unchanged" and a percentage movement are presented together; this report reproduces those figures as provided without further inference.
