Despite a muted market reaction, Roche argues that the election signifies Taiwan's maturity as a sovereign, democratic state and its rejection of reunification with China. While some analysts are optimistic about maintaining the status quo, Roche emphasizes the need for Taiwan's new president, Lai Ching-te, to address disillusionment with traditional politics and reduce economic dependence on China.

He also highlights the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war as a factor constraining global grain supply. Roche expects the stock-to-usage ratio for wheat to decline, leading to higher prices.
