[Reporter Zheng Qifang/Reported from Taipei] The National Security Fund launched its tenth round of market protection! The results of the U.S. midterm elections triggered doubts about AI investment. U.S. stocks and Asian stocks fell simultaneously, and Taiwan stocks fell more than 20% from this year's high. The National Security Fund held an extraordinary meeting yesterday afternoon, taking into account the continued overselling of foreign capital, the obvious lack of market investment confidence, and the still high uncertainty of the international political and economic situation, and decided to authorize the implementation of market stabilization tasks starting from November 9.

Ruan Qinghua: Hope the capital scale will be relaxed to 1 trillion

The National Security Fund has 500 billion yuan in available funds. Nguyen Ching-hua, deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance and executive secretary of the National Security Fund, said that in the past, only borrowings from financial institutions were used to protect the market, and the actual available amount was only 200 billion yuan. Now the trading volume of Taiwan stocks frequently exceeds one trillion yuan, and 200 billion yuan is difficult to operate. He hopes that the Legislative Yuan will agree to relax the fund scale to one trillion yuan. He said that he would do his best to stabilize the stock market. "Some people are deliberately shorting and killing, so we will put on a short squeeze show."

Guoan Fund stated that Taiwan stocks fell a total of 5,510 points this week, with a low of 37,837 points and a closing of 39,701 points yesterday, down 20.0 points from this year's high of 49,968 points. 55%, Taiwan stocks fell by 12% this week. 19%, second only to the fee half-fall of 15%. 7%. In October, foreign investors sold more than 994.3 billion yuan in total, the highest single month in history. So far in November, they have sold more than 524.4 billion yuan, deepening the decline of Taiwan stocks.

Guoan Fund said that the fundamentals of my country's economy are good, but Taiwan's stocks are dominated by high-tech stocks, which are closely linked to consumer prices, resulting in simultaneous declines in Taiwan's stocks and a clear lack of short-term market confidence. This is in line with "major domestic and foreign events and large movements of international funds, which have significantly affected public confidence, causing disorder in the capital market and other financial markets or threatening national stability." Therefore, the decision was made to authorize entry.

Guoan Fund has entered the market to protect the market in the past nine times, and eight of them have been profitable. The second time it entered the market in October 2000, it invested more than 120 billion yuan. The most recent time to protect the market was in April 2025, with a total of 279 days of protection, the longest in history. This was mainly in response to Trump's tariff policy that triggered a global stock market crash.
