Taiwan's stock market fell on Wednesday, a bad day for tech investors as losses in the U.S. spilled over.

• The main Taipei index dropped 1.3%, giving back nearly 590 points.
• Tech stocks led the selling after Wall Street closed weaker the night before.
• Trading was heavy, with turnover topping NT$800 billion.
• The U.S. dollar also finished lower against the Taiwan dollar.

Outlook: Taiwan's market will likely keep taking its cue from U.S. tech stocks in the near term.
