Trump announced reciprocal tariffs, triggering global turmoil, as Americans frantically stockpiled goods, fearing rising prices. Even as the stock market plummeted, Trump insisted it was a great time to get rich and pointed out that Beijing was in a panic. The Taiwanese stock market had a slight breather during the extended holiday, but is expected to make up for losses when trading resumes next week. The Financial Supervisory Commission has intensified monitoring and announced an 88 billion assistance plan to mitigate the impact of tariffs. Other highlights include StarLux Airlines being fined 300,000 for discriminating against middle-aged job seekers, and the U.S. Secretary of Commerce discussing the return of the semiconductor industry once again.
How are you today? Trump announced "reciprocal tariffs," causing global turmoil, with Americans frantically stockpiling goods out of concern for rising prices in the future. Billionaires are also rarely calling for "restocking as soon as possible." In contrast, Trump remains quite calm about the tariff situation, even stating that "now is a great time to get rich," noting that Beijing has already started to panic. The Taiwan stock market has gained a slight breather due to the long holiday amid a global stock market crash, but it may face a correction fate when trading resumes next week. The Financial Supervisory Commission is fully prepared for this, and the Executive Yuan has announced an "8.8 billion assistance plan" to mitigate the impact of tariffs. Here are the detailed reports.
