In response to growing market turbulence triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of new import tariffs, Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has announced a set of temporary measures aimed at curbing short-selling activities in its stock market.

The FSC stated that, starting Monday and lasting through Friday, it will enforce two key changes:

1. Limits on the number of shares that can be sold short.

2. An increase in the minimum short-selling margin ratio from 90% to 130%.

This proactive move is intended to cushion the potential blow to investor sentiment and maintain orderly market conditions in the face of global economic uncertainty.

Taiwan's stock market, like many others in the Asia-Pacific region, is highly sensitive to global trade tensions. President Trump's renewed tariff policies have sparked concerns about a fresh round of supply chain disruptions and trade frictions, leading to heightened volatility across various sectors.

The FSC emphasized that these measures are temporary and will be reassessed based on market conditions. Investors are advised to remain cautious and stay informed about further developments.
