In a significant escalation of geopolitical tensions, China has imposed an export ban on companies linked to Taiwan's military, alongside export controls affecting ten U.S. firms.
This move underscores the deteriorating relationship between China and the U.S., particularly in the context of Taiwan's strategic military position. Market sentiment has shifted dramatically, with an adjusted sentiment score reflecting a heightened level of concern at 30, indicating a pervasive atmosphere of fear among investors.
