Taiwan authorized its National Financial Stabilization Fund to step in and support the island's stock market following a whipsaw selloff that dragged down regional tech indices. This intervention provides a vital liquidity backstop, preventing a total capitulation in the AI sector. However, Susquehanna's assessment that 8% of AI data center projects are at risk indicates that the fundamental demand thesis is facing headwinds, suggesting the market rally may be limited to technical bounce rather than a fundamental re-rating.
