Taiwan again extended its restrictions on short-selling to curb market volatility, amid ongoing uncertainty over Donald Trump’s tariff measures.
The Financial Supervisory Commission in Taipei reimposed a limit on the volume of intraday short-sell orders for borrowed securities, capping it at 3% of a stock’s average daily trading volume over the preceding 30 days, according to a statement on Saturday. That represents a sharp reduction from the usual 30% limit.
