Taiwan places 7 speculative stocks under new cooling-off rules

Taiwan's market watchdogs expanded new cooling-off measures on Aug. 13, adding Holy Stone Enterprise, ITEQ, LuxNet and Advanced Wireless Semiconductor to a first batch of Browave, Amita Technologies and Aivres under a revised disposition regime. The Taiwan Stock Exchange and Taipei Exchange said the latest four stocks will face manual order matching at two-minute intervals from Aug. 14 through Aug. 20, bringing the total newly subjected to the updated rules to seven. Taiwan this week shortened the standard first-time disposition period to five trading days from 10, reduced the enhanced period for unusually high day-trading ratios to seven days from 12, and standardized matching intervals at once every two minutes. The affected stocks were flagged for combinations of steep short-term gains, stretched valuations, wide price spreads and heavy turnover across electronics, optical communications and AI-linked themes.
