Taiwan's stock market is closed during the Qingming holiday period. Investors are worried that U.S. President Trump's tariff policy will affect the market, especially since the U.S. stock market has already entered a "bear market," resulting in consecutive days of significant declines. The FTSE Taiwan Index has already dropped by 9.1% due to the impact of this policy. If the Taiwan stock market experiences the same decline when it opens next Monday, it could face a risk of falling by about 1,900 points, with some analyses predicting it could reach 2,000 points. Premier Su Tseng-chang has convened relevant ministries to discuss possible financial measures to respond to the upcoming market turbulence. Investors should carefully assess the risks.

The finance center reported that during the Qingming holiday, the Taiwan stock market was closed, and Trump's tariff policies have not yet had a significant impact on the market. However, many investors are worried about the market trends after the reopening and expect a substantial decline.

U.S. President Trump’s tariff measures have impacted the international financial markets, causing the U.S. stock market to experience a "bear market" with consecutive declines. During the Qingming holiday, the FTSE Taiwan Index has already plunged by 9.1%. Taking the Taiwan stock market's closing price of 21,298.22 points before the holiday as a reference, if the market opens on Monday (the 7th) with a decline similar to that of the FTSE, a drop of 9.1% would suggest a decline of about 1,900 points. Financial writers estimate that if there is additional forced selling pressure, the decline could reach around 2,000 points.

Trump’s announcement of global tariffs resulted in a sharp drop in the U.S. stock market within a short period, leading to consecutive declines of over 1,500 points for two days, wiping out approximately $6 trillion in market value (about NT$198.6 trillion). This financial storm may affect the opening of the Taiwan stock market after the Qingming holiday. Executive Yuan Premier Su Tseng-chang has convened meetings to gather relevant financial units to report on countermeasures.

If the Taiwan stock market indeed experiences a significant drop similar to that of the U.S. market, taking the 9.1% decline of the FTSE as an example, it is expected to drop around 1,900 points. Financial writer Chi Xiang also analyzed that if the decline continues without showing signs of stabilizing, the Taiwan stock market could conservatively estimate a drop of over 1,800 points next Monday. He reminds investors to timely increase their cash holdings or invest in safe-haven assets to cope with potential risks.

Regarding the opening on the upcoming Monday, sources from the Executive Yuan stated that Premier Su Tseng-chang conducted an analysis of Taiwan's financial market during today’s meeting and reviewed response measures. This includes gathering information on the investment status of Taiwanese businesses abroad and continuously discussing how the government can support relevant industry chains, with new measures to be disclosed in a timely manner.
