Taiwan stocks struggled with low trading volumes and a breach of the monthly moving average, while ETFs dominated the most active trading lists.

ETF Popularity Surges: Despite the overall decline in market activity, ETFs saw a notable uptick in interest. Four of the top five most traded securities during the session were ETFs, highlighting a shift toward diversified investment vehicles during periods of volatility.

Active Trading Leaders: CTBC Taiwan Income (00406A) led the market in trading volume, followed by other notable ETFs such as Uni-President Upgrade 50 and Uni-President Taiwan Growth. Shipping firm Yang Ming was the only individual stock to rank among the top five most active securities.
