Taiwan extends short-selling curbs after U.S. tariffs bring market turmoil
Taiwan's top financial regulator said on Saturday it would extend temporary curbs on short-selling for another week to ensure market stability after U.S. tariffs unleashed turmoil, adding that the restrictions had been helpful. The stock market in Taiwan seesawed this week, plummeting on the tariff news before rebounding strongly after U.S. President Donald Trump put a pause on the tariffs. In a statement, Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission said the market stabilisation measures on short-selling of shares had "indeed had the expected effect of effectively curbing speculative selling".
