Taiwan's stock market reached a new closing high today, fueled by NT$44.7 billion in foreign buying, with AUO emerging as the top target for institutional investors.

What Happened

Taiwan Stocks Reach New Record Highs: The Taiwan stock market hit a historic intraday peak of 48,601.53 points today before closing at a record 47,800.17 points. Total market turnover reached NT$1.02 trillion, reflecting strong investor participation and market momentum.

Institutional Investors Net Buying: All three major institutional investor groups were net buyers today, with foreign and mainland Chinese investors leading the charge with a net purchase of NT$44.73 billion. Combined with buying from dealers and investment trusts, total net institutional inflows reached NT$60.82 billion.

AUO Leads Foreign Buying Spree: AUO was the primary target for foreign investors, who accumulated over 245,000 shares of the panel manufacturer. Foreign capital also flowed heavily into various active ETFs, including the Uni-President Upgrade 50 and Fuh Hwa Global 50 funds.

Profit-Taking Observed in Other Sectors: Despite the broad market rally, foreign investors offloaded shares in companies such as Wistron, KGI Financial, and Nan Ya Plastics. This indicates a strategic rotation or profit-taking phase among foreign institutional participants as the index reaches new heights.
