The trade confrontation between the U.S. and China has intensified, with the U.S. imposing tariffs of 34% and 32% on China and Taiwan, respectively. In response, the Chinese Ministry of Finance announced that starting from April 10, it will impose the same tariffs on all American goods. Global market vigilance is heightened, and the future trends of the Taiwan stock market are under close observation. Experts warn that the trade war may lead to short-term negative impacts on the stock market, with the Taiwan stock market possibly facing a significant drop of 1600 points. Investors are advised to remain cautious and avoid chasing highs and selling lows.
Recently, the trade tensions between the United States and China have escalated again. The U.S. President announced a reciprocal tariff policy against major trading partners, with a tariff rate of 34% on mainland China and 32% on Taiwan. The Chinese Ministry of Finance immediately responded by stating that starting from April 10, a 34% tariff will be imposed on all U.S. imported goods as a retaliation against this measure. This action has sparked significant global market attention, with the performance of Taiwan's stock market becoming a focal point.
Financial experts pointed out on social media that the continuous escalation of the trade conflict may force certain countries to compromise, but at the same time, it also means that the stock market will face significant negatives in the short term. He emphasized that although the market may rapidly build a bottom, it is not recommended for investors to expect a V-shaped rebound, nor should they easily enter the market amid rising risks.
Experts further analyzed that if the decline in Taiwan's stock market does not ease, according to the current performance of the FTSE Taiwan Index futures, it is expected that the market may face a drop of at least 1,600 points when it opens next Monday, directly breaking through the psychological level of 20,000 points. He warned that this is just a conservative estimate, and if there is no easing in the trade situation over the weekend, the market may face more serious selling pressure and capital withdrawal.
As China's tough response to the U.S. unfolds, the development of the trade situation will undoubtedly impact the fluctuations of global stock markets. Experts urge investors to maintain a cautious attitude in the short term to avoid incurring greater losses from chasing highs and cutting losses.
