How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSM | Greater military activity near Taiwan increases perceived operational and supply-chain risk for the island's leading foundry. | Down1-5d | Taiwan's defence ministry flagged a Chinese joint patrol involving 19 aircraft and naval vessels. |
| TWD | Higher cross-Strait risk can increase demand for defensive foreign currency and pressure the Taiwan dollar. | Down1-5d | The reported patrol included fighter aircraft and naval ships near Taiwan. |
| USD/JPY | A regional security shock can increase demand for the yen's liquid funding and safe-haven counterpart dollar, lifting the pair if dollar demand dominates. | Upintraday | The event represents a new reported Chinese military patrol near Taiwan rather than a diplomatic statement alone. |
