Taiwan's stock market fell 461.97 points to close at 44,762.32, breaking below key moving averages on the lowest trading volume in over four months.

What Happened

Market Performance: The Taiwan stock market experienced a volatile session, opening higher before succumbing to selling pressure. The index ultimately dropped 461.97 points, or 1.02%, to close at 44,762.32.

Technical Outlook: The index failed to hold the 45,000-point level and fell below both the 5-day moving average and the quarterly line. Trading volume hit its lowest point since April 7, signaling a significant cooling in market participation.
