After the significant decline in the US stock market, the Taiwanese stock market may experience a corrective drop on Monday. On April 2, the Taiwanese stock market closed at 21,298.22 points, showing a slight increase, but the market is in panic due to the 32% tariffs imposed by the United States. On April 3 and 4, the Dow Jones index plunged by 1,679.39 points and 2,231.07 points respectively, with other indices also affected. Historically, after holidays, the Taiwanese stock market often drops due to turmoil in global stock markets, and investors are quite anxious about the situation on Monday. Furthermore, in past instances of major declines, the highest record was a drop of 1,807.21 points, reflecting the instability in the market. Investors need to cautiously face potential risks.

The US stock market has experienced a significant decline, and it is expected that the Taiwan stock market will also face a large-scale correction on Monday. According to reports, the closing point for the Taiwan stock market on April 2 was 21,298.22 points, an increase of 0.08% or 18.05 points, with a trading volume of NT$232.849 billion. However, in the early hours of April 3, after the Qingming holiday, the US President announced that a tariff of up to 32% would be imposed on goods exported to Taiwan, resulting in a severe blow to the US stock market, prompting investors to sell off stocks. On April 3 and 4, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell dramatically by 1,679.39 points (3.98%) and 2,231.07 points (5.5%), respectively. The NASDAQ and S&P 500 experienced similar declines, with the stock market dropping across the board. Since the Taiwanese stock market is often influenced by fluctuations in the global market during holidays, investors are concerned about the market direction on Monday.
