Taiwanese stocks staged a strong recovery on Tuesday, led by financial heavyweights and AI-related shares, closing significantly higher and reclaiming the quarterly support level.
What Happened
Market Performance: Taiwan's weighted index staged a dramatic V-shaped recovery on Tuesday, closing up 407.14 points at 45,169.46. The rally was fueled by strong buying in financial stocks and AI-linked optical communication shares, which saw multiple stocks hit the daily limit.
Economic Indicators and Policy: The Ministry of Economic Affairs reported a 25.61% year-on-year increase in the July industrial production index, marking a record high driven by AI and high-performance computing demand. Additionally, the Taiwan Stock Exchange announced plans to adjust the tick size for high-priced stocks by July 2026 to improve trading efficiency.
Technical and Capital Flow: The index successfully reclaimed the quarterly moving average with a volume-backed gain, while technical indicators like KD and RSI show upward momentum. Despite net selling by institutional investors and high foreign short positions in index futures, market sentiment remains supported by active rotation into tech and industrial sectors.
Outlook and Strategy: Investors are now looking ahead to upcoming earnings from NVIDIA and Marvell, as well as comments from Fed officials at the central bank symposium. Analysts recommend a 'buy on dips' approach, focusing on liquid, large-cap AI stocks while remaining cautious of market volatility.
