Taiwan Regulators Impose Short-Selling Limits Following Market Selloff
Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has introduced strict new limits on short selling to stabilize the local market. The regulatory intervention follows a significant downturn in artificial intelligence stocks, which triggered a sharp decline in the Taiex index. The selloff was severe enough to cause the benchmark index to experience its worst weekly performance in twenty-five years. By capping intraday short-selling activities, regulators aim to curb excessive volatility and provide support to equity prices during this period of heightened market stress.
