TSMC shares rallied in the final minutes of trading to close at NT$2,400, contributing 200 points to the index as Taiwan stocks rebounded to 45,169.46.
What Happened
TSMC Late-Session Rally: TSMC shares experienced a volatile session, opening lower and dipping to NT$2,350 before a massive late-session buy order of 2,997 shares pushed the price to a close of NT$2,400. This late surge accounted for approximately 200 points of the broader market's gains.
Spillover in Advanced Packaging: The supply crunch for TSMC's advanced packaging capacity has led to order spillover, with reports indicating that SK Hynix is adopting Intel's EMIB technology. This shift highlights the industry's struggle to meet high demand for advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes.
Market Recovery and Key Levels: The Taiwan Weighted Index successfully rebounded from intraday lows to close up 407.14 points at 45,169.46. This recovery allowed the index to reclaim the critical 45,000-point threshold and stabilize above its monthly moving average.
Global Tech Sentiment: Investor sentiment remains cautious ahead of NVIDIA's upcoming earnings report, following a record-breaking seven-day losing streak for the chipmaker. TSMC's ADR performance has mirrored this global tech volatility, though local buying interest remains robust.
