In a move to curb volatility, Taiwan's financial regulators have announced a new cap on intraday short selling for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Effective November 9, 2026, intraday short orders executed with borrowed shares will be limited to 3% of the average daily trading volume over the preceding 30 days. This represents a massive reduction from the previous 30% threshold. The timing is critical, as the restriction lands just 24 hours before the chipmaker is scheduled to release its October 2026 revenue figures. Analysts view this as a direct intervention to prevent short-selling pressure from exacerbating market turbulence during a sensitive reporting period.
