Taiwan's stock market rebounded strongly on Friday, with institutional investors net buying over NT$62 billion, led by gains in AI and passive component sectors.
What Happened
Market Rebound: Taiwan's stock market staged a robust recovery on Friday, with the benchmark index climbing 693.47 points to close at 46,551.13. The market breadth was overwhelmingly positive, signaling a significant restoration of investor confidence despite a slight cooling in total trading volume.
Institutional Activity: Institutional investors collectively net bought NT$62.87 billion, effectively halting a two-day selling streak. While the weekly net selling figure remains at NT$85.74 billion, the resilience shown by domestic institutional investors provided a necessary buffer for the index.
AI Sector Momentum: Capital flowed back into AI server-related stocks, with Compal surging over 7% on high volume. Major tech heavyweights including TSMC, MediaTek, and Delta Electronics provided essential support, keeping the broader market stable throughout the session.
Passive Component Rally: The passive component sector saw a broad rally driven by news of potential MLCC price hikes. Industry leader Yageo hit the daily limit, as market participants reacted to reports that South Korean manufacturer SEMCO is raising prices for end-customers, signaling a tightening supply-demand dynamic.
