Taiwan stocks fell nearly 3000 points in two days! The National Security Fund is authorized to enter the market to stabilize it, responding to a historic level of panic.

Taiwan's stock market has plunged for two consecutive days, setting a record for the largest single-day fall in history, with the market engulfed in an unprecedented atmosphere of panic. Against the backdrop of severe turmoil in international political and economic situations, the National Security Fund held its 124th committee meeting on April 8, deciding to activate the "combat readiness mode," authorizing the executive secretary to utilize funds as necessary to stabilize the financial market order.

International bearish pressure! Trump reinitiates tariff policy, Taiwan included in the 32% tax rate list.

The former U.S. President Trump's administration announced the implementation of "reciprocal tariffs" on various countries, with Taiwan unfortunately included in the tax rate range of up to 32%. This policy immediately impacted domestic export-oriented industries, causing companies to face a surge in cost pressures, and also disrupted the international trade order. The market reacted strongly to this, raising concerns about the risks of increased inflation and further global economic recession.

Taiwan stocks recorded the largest fall in history! A wild drop of nearly 3,000 points in two days.

Affected by international negative news, the Taiwan stock market experienced a rare crash on April 7, 2025, plunging 2,065.87 points in a single day, with a drop of 9.7%, setting a record for the largest single-day drop in points and percentage in history. The following day (April 8), the market continued to bleed, further falling 772.4 points, a drop of 4.02%. Over the two days, the total drop reached 2,838.27 points, significantly undermining investor confidence.

Foreign investment continues to withdraw, adding to the woes of the Taiwan stock market.

According to the statistics from the National Security Fund, foreign capital significantly sold off Taiwanese stocks from January to March 2025, exacerbating market volatility. This wave of capital withdrawal has made it even more difficult for the already pressured Taiwanese stocks to stabilize, as market liquidity and confidence have faced a double blow.

Activate the market stabilization mechanism! The National Security Fund is preparing to enter and support the Taiwan stock market.

In the face of severe fluctuations, the National Security Fund Management Committee held its 124th meeting on April 8, to conduct an in-depth discussion on the recent situation of Taiwan's stock market, international political and economic conditions, and changes in the financial market. Ultimately, based on Article 8 of the "National Financial Stabilization Fund Establishment and Management Regulations," it was confirmed that there is currently a situation of "disorder in the financial market caused by significant events, affecting national security."

Therefore, the meeting resolved to authorize the Executive Secretary of the National Security Fund to flexibly utilize funds to carry out market stabilization tasks based on market conditions, hoping to stabilize public sentiment and avoid the expansion of systemic risks.

The market expects the strength of policy support, with the direction of the National Security Fund being a key observation.

Although the National Security Fund has not yet actually entered the market, this authorization is equivalent to a strong signal that "the authorities will step in to support the market." Market investors and institutional entities will continue to observe subsequent actions, including whether actual buying power enters the market, the strength of the buying power, and the direction of stock selection.

As international uncertainty remains high, whether the National Security Fund can stabilize the Taiwan stock market and restore market confidence will become the focus of attention in the coming period.
