Taiwan's stock, futures, and forex markets are closed today due to Typhoon Champi, with a four-day break extending through the upcoming holiday.
What Happened
Typhoon Market Closure: Taiwan's financial markets, including the stock exchange, futures market, and foreign exchange market, have suspended operations today due to the approach of Typhoon Champi. The Taipei City government's decision to declare a work and school suspension triggered this comprehensive market shutdown.
Extended Holiday Break: The market closure is compounded by the upcoming Retrocession Day holiday on Monday, resulting in a four-day consecutive break for investors. Normal trading activities are scheduled to resume on Tuesday, October 27th.
Settlement Procedures: Both the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the Taipei Exchange have confirmed that all settlement and delivery obligations will be postponed accordingly. This measure ensures that investors are not penalized for the unexpected market halt caused by the weather event.
Scope of Suspension: The suspension applies to a wide range of financial instruments, including stocks, warrants, ETFs, ETNs, bonds, and various derivative products. Regulatory authorities have issued formal notices to ensure market participants are aware of the adjusted settlement timelines.
