Taiwan's stock market rose early on Nvidia's earnings boost but failed to hold the 46,000-point level as TSMC shares slipped in the final trading minutes.
What Happened
Market Performance: Taiwan stocks surged over 500 points in early trading, fueled by Nvidia's strong earnings report, reaching a high of 46,401.78. However, the index pared gains toward the close as TSMC turned negative, ending the session up 142.6 points at 45,975.22, failing to sustain the 46,000-point threshold.
Weighty Stocks: The performance of major tech stocks was mixed, with TSMC falling 0.21% to 2,410 NTD. While MediaTek and UMC faced significant selling pressure, dropping over 2% and 4% respectively, Hon Hai and ASE Technology provided support with gains exceeding 2%.
Sector Rotation: As tech heavyweights struggled, the petrochemical and optical sectors stepped in to provide necessary support for the broader market. The CPO (Co-Packaged Optics) theme continues to gain traction, and anticipation surrounding upcoming Apple product launches has kept investor interest focused on specific supply chain components.
Trading Volume: Market turnover rose to 924.68 billion NTD, reflecting active participation following the Nvidia-led optimism. Although the index failed to consolidate above 46,000, the high volume suggests that market sentiment remains resilient as investors monitor the next moves of key semiconductor players.
