Will the market surely rise after the U.S. midterm elections? Has the "sweet spot" arrived now that Taiwan stocks have fallen below the half-year line? A former financial holding company trader weighs in
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Former financial holding company trader Wang Chao-li analyzed that after Taiwan stocks fell below the half-year line, they have not yet reached a sweet spot for buying. He pointed out that although there is a long-term upward trend after the U.S. midterm elections, it comes with correction risks, and AI industry cash flow and profits are under pressure. He advises investors to build positions in batches, while he himself has moved to cash and positioned in inverse ETFs and crude oil for defense.
If the U.S. midterm elections produce a divided-government deadlock between Democrats and Republicans, bills will face delays in passage. Combined with Middle East turmoil and high oil prices, this would increase uncertainty over Federal Reserve policy and intensify market volatility.
Wang Chao-li currently holds almost all of his funds in cash. Apart from long-term stock holdings, he has positioned in inverse ETFs and crude oil, reflecting a cautious stance before too much negative news emerges.
