Taiwan's stock market reached a historic intraday high of 48,601 points before closing at 47,800, driven by strong AI demand and significant foreign capital inflows.
What Happened
Historic Market Milestone: The Taiwan stock market demonstrated remarkable strength ahead of the Mid-Autumn Festival, reaching a new intraday record of 48,601 points. Despite late-session profit-taking that pulled back heavyweights like TSMC, the index closed at 47,800 with trading volume exceeding NT$1 trillion.
Key Market Highlights: The rally was marked by several milestones, including record highs for both the weighted index and index futures. Notably, the total market capitalization of listed companies approached NT$168 trillion, while ETF assets surged past NT$7.9 trillion and Aspeed became the first stock to cross the NT$20,000 threshold.
Institutional Capital Flows: Foreign investors remained the primary drivers of the rally, marking four consecutive days of net buying totaling NT$164.97 billion. While domestic investment trusts paused their buying streak, proprietary traders continued to add to their positions, underscoring sustained market confidence.
Outlook and Risks: Analysts advise caution regarding geopolitical tensions, inflation, and upcoming US midterm elections. The market is expected to remain volatile but resilient, with a focus on AI-related sectors, advanced semiconductor manufacturing, and high-growth stocks as investors navigate post-holiday profit-taking.
