Taiwan stocks have plummeted recently, with the market opening down over 2,000 points and falling below the 20,000 mark. Concerns over U.S. tariffs have sparked panic selling, leading to a bear market scenario. In an effort to stabilize the situation, the Taiwan Stock Exchange has announced temporary short-selling curbs and is prepared to unveil additional measures if needed. Despite a slight rebound of almost 3%, overall investor sentiment remains shaky as the Taiwan Dollar falls to a nine-year low against the U.S. dollar. The Financial Supervisory Commission is actively working to calm the market, while local investors brace for continued volatility.
