The ambiguity surrounding the United States' potential military intervention in Taiwan creates uncertainty for global markets, particularly impacting defense and technology sectors due to potential supply chain disruptions. Easing trade tensions between the United States and China could positively influence market sentiment, but the underlying geopolitical risks remain a concern.
US President Donald Trump warned Chinese leader Xi Jinping of 'consequences' if China were to invade Taiwan, though he did not confirm whether the United States would militarily intervene. Trump stated that Taiwan was not discussed during his recent meeting with Xi Jinping in South Korea, where they focused on easing trade tensions.
