[Reporter Chen Yongji/Report from Taipei] As the Taiwan stock market has plummeted in recent days, it opened high in the morning yesterday (4th) and then fell all the way. It once fell by more than 1,400 points at midday. The outside world believed that yesterday’s financing recovery should be a thousand arrows. But this is not the case. According to the "Taiwan Stock Dashboard", securities companies issued financing recovery orders to only 840 households yesterday, which was less than the 1,286 households the day before yesterday. The recovery amount was only 300 million yuan, which was completely beyond market expectations.

Moreover, the weighted index fell sharply during the session yesterday. It was originally expected that financing would be significantly reduced, but listed financing only decreased by 2.83 billion yuan to 596.9 billion yuan. If we look at the number of financing tickets, it increased by 32,000. Over-the-counter financing lost more weight, decreasing by 5.64 billion yuan in a single day to 190.9 billion yuan.

The market-wide whole-household guarantee maintenance rate, which was originally expected to decrease, bucked the trend and increased by 1.89 percentage points yesterday to 167.42%, indicating that the market is still at a safe level for the time being.

In addition to the fact that the number of households with financing recovery was less than expected yesterday, the number of households whose heads were beheaded was only 14, which was significantly less than the 109 households the day before yesterday, and the amount of beheadings was only about 8 million yuan. There were only 13 people who defaulted on delivery in listed counters, and the total amount after offsetting the defaulted purchases and sales was only 720,000 yuan.

Foreign investors sold nearly 150 billion yuan yesterday, and borrowed and shorted bonds simultaneously increased by 327,000. According to statistics, borrowing and shorting of bonds increased day by day in the past five trading days, with a cumulative increase of approximately 880,000 in the past five trading days. Currently, the total number of foreign bonds borrowed and shorted has reached 17.56 million.
