The island of Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission announced on Sunday in a statement that it had decided the number of shares to be shorted would be limited temporarily, while the short-selling margin ratio would be adjusted from 90% to 130%.

The financial regulator explained that the move comes due to United States President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs shaking markets across the globe. The decision is aimed at maintaining stock market stability.

Taiwan's stock markets were closed on April 3 and 4 over the Qingming Festival and will resume trading on Monday, April 7.
