Taiwan's stock market experienced extreme volatility on the 4th, with a 1,451-point drop followed by a partial recovery as foreign investors offloaded 149.9 billion TWD.
What Happened
Extreme Market Volatility: The Taiwan stock market witnessed a dramatic session on the 4th, with the index plunging over 1,451 points before staging a late-day recovery to close down 358 points. The intra-day swing reached a staggering 1,885 points, reflecting intense market uncertainty.
Heavy Institutional Selling: Institutional investors were net sellers of 159.79 billion TWD, led by foreign investors who dumped 149.9 billion TWD worth of shares. This massive outflow exerted significant downward pressure on the broader market throughout the trading session.
Sector Divergence: While major heavyweights like TSMC and Foxconn faced selling pressure, the market saw a clear divergence in performance. Cybersecurity and machine tool stocks showed resilience, with several companies hitting their daily limit, contrasting with the weakness seen in the memory sector.
Future Outlook: Investors are now shifting their focus toward the impact of the U.S. midterm elections on global markets and the ongoing capital flow trends of institutional investors. The market remains cautious as it navigates these macroeconomic headwinds.
