INTRODUCTION
The global economy posted strong steady growth in 2018. However, due to trade tensions between the United States and China, as well as rate hikes by the U.S. Fed, main stock markets across the world saw a significant reversal in Q4. Taiwan stocks were also influenced by these volatile factors; despite this, a stable market continued operating owing to the robust fundamentals in place.
