Taiwan stocks surged nearly 560 points as Nvidia's strong earnings report fueled a rally in TSMC and other major tech heavyweights, boosting market sentiment.
What Happened
Nvidia Earnings Catalyst: Nvidia reported quarterly revenue exceeding $96.2 billion, marking a year-over-year increase of over 100% and beating market expectations. This positive outlook provided a significant boost to global tech sentiment, helping the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index close in the green.
Market Rally: Taiwan stocks opened higher on the 27th, with TSMC and other major tech heavyweights leading the charge. The index surged nearly 560 points at its peak, approaching the 46,400 level, although some profit-taking later trimmed the gains.
Investment Outlook: Analysts note that while the technical outlook for the Taiwan market has improved, investors should monitor the ability of the market to absorb selling pressure from previous resistance levels. Focus remains on semiconductor exhibition themes, including IC design, advanced packaging equipment, and optoelectronics.
Institutional Activity: Institutional investors were net buyers in the previous session, with foreign investors contributing significantly to the 57.9 billion TWD net inflow. While electronics remain the primary driver, sectors such as optoelectronics and chemicals are also seeing increased investor interest.
