The Taiwan Stock Exchange index retreated from its session high to close at 44,762.32, a 1.02% decline, as broad-based selling pressured the market.

What Happened

Market Trend: The Taiwan weighted index opened at 45,240.3 and reached an intraday high of 45,362.3 before succumbing to selling pressure. The market eventually closed at 44,762.32, marking a 1.02% decline for the session.

Sector Performance: All eight major industrial sectors finished in the red, with the plastics and chemical sector leading the decline at 2.42%. The textile and financial sectors also faced significant downward pressure, falling 1.76% and 1.35% respectively.

Stock Activity: Trading volume was concentrated in stocks such as CTBC Taiwan Yield and UMC. While some stocks like Tong Mao and Lite-On Technology saw gains, others including JPC and BizLink-KY were among the top decliners.
