Electronic Technology · Semiconductors · economic_daily · 2026-11-04
The Taiwan Stock Exchange experienced extreme volatility today, with the index swinging 1,885 points before closing lower on a massive turnover of NT$1.11 trillion.
What Happened
Market Volatility: The Taiwan stock market saw extreme intraday volatility, with the index swinging by 1,885 points. Despite a sharp decline to 41,855 points, late-session buying helped the index recover to close at 42,948 points, leaving a significant long lower shadow on the chart.
Weighty Stocks: TSMC faced downward pressure, hitting its lowest level since July 31 before recovering slightly to close at 2,260 NTD. The broader electronics sector managed to trim losses significantly, supported by a rebound in key stocks like MediaTek and ASE Technology.
Sector Performance: Most traditional industries finished in the red, with cement, cables, and automotive stocks falling over 1%, while the plastics sector bucked the trend with a 1.63% gain. Financial stocks also provided a buffer, narrowing their losses to 0.71% by the end of the trading session.
Market Outlook: Analysts warn that breaking the long-term uptrend line has damaged investor confidence and led to a reduction in the number of high-priced 'thousand-dollar' stocks. With margin financing still at high levels, the market may face further selling pressure if the downward trend continues.
