Taiwan stunk big time overnight:

Taiwan stocks end sharply down on hi-tech selloff

TAIPEI, June 1 (Reuters) - A panicky selloff in Taiwan's high-technology sector dragged the stock index to a sharply lower close on Monday, with investors rushing to dump shares amid mounting worries over Asia's economic woes, brokers said.

* Closing: down 297.09 points/3.76 percent at 7,606.25

* Hardest-hit was the trend-setting electronics sector, which fell 5.39 percent on eve of one of Taiwan's biggest computer expositions, as confidence evaporated following Wall Street's big declines and heavy institutional selling

* Selling accelerated in final hour, with index touching low of 7,574.51 -- a 4.15 pct fall -- shortly before the close.
