The NT dollar rose 5.8 % against the US dollar, again the best in Asia. Unexpectedly the market took a sharp turn downward within three months. The large-cap index tumbled more than 3,000 points from its high of 9,309 for a percentage loss that was behind only China and Hong Kong in Asia.
不料行情卻在 3 個月內急轉直下，大盤指數從 9,309 的高點一路重挫超過 3,000 點，在亞股中的跌幅僅次於中國與香港；期間雖曾反覆築底，等待反彈，但終究難敵頹勢。
