Conversely, funds flowed into small-cap stocks, with gaming stock 'Chili' (4946) soaring to a limit-up price of 142 TWD, marking a new high in 13 years.

Due to the oscillation of the U.S. counterpart tariff policy, the rush for container shipping fell flat, leading to widespread declines among related sectors.
