Magnitude 5.6 earthquake strikes Taiwan region, GFZ reports

The 5.6 magnitude earthquake in the Taiwan region may raise concerns about regional stability, especially given Taiwan's strategic importance in global supply chains. Market participants should watch for potential impacts on trade and geopolitical tensions, particularly given the broader context of US-China relations and supply chain sensitivities. Although immediate market reactions may vary, any escalation in geopolitical risks could see safe-haven assets like gold and the yen attract interest.
