High volatility expected

Taiwan Taiex already rallied 3.3% on de-escalation news; US markets declining and VIX elevated suggest the geopolitical relief is already absorbed and broader risk sentiment remains weak. Further upside unlikely without sustained global risk-on confirmation.

^GSPCIndex

Expected to decline

S&P 500 down 0.37% while VIX up 3.06%—indicates risk-off mood persists in US despite Asian relief rally. De-escalation hopes insufficient to reverse US equity weakness.

VIX

VIXIndex

Expected to rise

VIX +3.06% despite Iran de-escalation narrative suggests underlying fear remains elevated; regional rallies are not translating to global risk appetite recovery.

⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION

Taiwan's 3.3% move is already priced in and contradicted by US weakness and rising VIX. Skip chasing this rally; wait for confirmation that global risk sentiment has genuinely shifted before entering long positions. Monitor US equity stabilization as the true test. [PRICED_IN] [MOVE:0.8%]
