The Weighted Price Index of the Taiwan Stock Exchange fell 337.73 points, or 4.11 percent, to 7,883.37 points, the lowest close since Dec. 20. ADVERTISEMENT The electronics sector sank 6.6 percent, tracking Nasdaq's 3.8 percent decline on Friday. In addition to fears about weakened U.S. economy, investors were also cautious ahead of Taiwan's legislative elections Saturday. Traders said institutional investors were on the sidelines, pending the election outcome. Analysts have said a victory by the opposition Nationalist Party, which wants closer trade ties with rival China, could boost the market. Daiwa Securities trader Harvey Chang expected a rebound on Tuesday with bargain hunting on stocks with sound fundamentals, such as LCD makers. AU Optronics Corp. fell the daily downside limit of 7 percent to NT$54.90. MediaTek also declined 7 percent to NT$341.50, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing plunged 7 percent to NT$55.8. UNQUOTE
