Taiwan orders regulator to intervene as TSMC and TAIEX plunge amid AI‑related sell‑off
Taiwan's premier instructed the Financial Supervisory Commission to take steps to stabilize the stock market after a tech‑driven sell‑off sent TSMC shares down as much as 9.8% and the TAIEX off 4.51% to 39,701.64. The FSC is set to meet the same day to decide on market‑support measures. The decline was amplified by foreign investor outflows and margin‑call liquidations across the market.
Why it matters
The sharp drop in TSMC and the broader index increases short‑term risk for investors holding Taiwanese equities. The regulator’s pending actions could limit further volatility, but the immediate effect is a sizable loss in market value.
