Taiwan's benchmark index rose 142 points on Thursday, buoyed by Nvidia's earnings, while Largan Precision hit the daily limit to secure its spot as the third-largest high-priced stock.
What Happened
Market Performance: The Taiwan stock market closed up 142.6 points at 45,975.22, with a total trading volume of 924.68 billion TWD. While the market opened higher following Nvidia's positive earnings report, profit-taking later in the session caused the index to trim its gains.
Stock Highlights: Largan Precision stood out as a top performer, hitting the daily limit to close at 6,915 TWD and becoming the third-largest high-priced stock. Meanwhile, TSMC saw a slight decline of 5 TWD, and UMC experienced downward pressure during the session.
Expert Analysis: Analysts at Capital Investment Consulting noted that while the technical outlook remains positive with the index holding above the monthly moving average, the market has already priced in much of the recent good news. With the global central bank annual meeting underway and valuation concerns regarding AI, investors are advised to remain cautious.
Future Outlook: Reports suggest Apple may shift to a dual-launch strategy in spring and autumn, impacting supply chain shipment rhythms. Future iterations of the iPhone are expected to feature TSMC's 2nm A20Pro chips and significant RAM upgrades, which will be key areas for investors to monitor.
