Looking ahead, the Exporters Expectation Index shows early signs of a modest recovery, though sentiment remains deeply pessimistic.

After plunging to a low point immediately following the tariff announcement, the index has now ticked up slightly.

This subtle rebound suggests that while the future outlook is still challenging, the initial shock has been absorbed, and businesses are beginning to find a tentative footing in the new trade environment.​

Confidence in the immediate trade environment has weakened further since the new tariffs took effect, with the Exporters Confidence Index remaining firmly in pessimistic territory below the 50-point neutral line.

While the most significant drop in sentiment occurred after the initial tariff announcement, this slight continued decline indicates that the reality of the new trade landscape is cementing a cautious and challenging near-term outlook for Taiwanese exporters.
