If Lai Ching-te were to leave office unexpectedly (whether due to health, coup, or war), it would be a massive Black Swan event, directly impacting the global semiconductor supply chain. TSMC (TSM) would be hit hardest, as political instability could be interpreted as a precursor to invasion or internal turmoil. The Taiwan Dollar (TWD) would depreciate significantly. Given Taiwan's centrality to the AI chip supply chain (NVDA relies heavily on TSM), this event would trigger risk-off selling in the Nasdaq and S&P 500 while boosting Gold prices.
