Taiwan stocks edged up 77 points to hold the 47,000-point level as trading volume contracted, with investors awaiting key U.S. inflation data.
What Happened
Market Performance: The Taiwan stock market opened higher on the back of electronic heavyweights but faced volatility as TSMC turned negative during the session. The index eventually closed up 77.58 points at 47,183.36, with trading volume shrinking to 775.06 billion TWD, reflecting investor caution.
Key Stocks: TSMC saw a late-session recovery, while Quanta Computer surged 4.27% on strong AI server revenue. Optical component stocks rallied ahead of the upcoming Apple event, with Yujingguang hitting a record high and finishing at the daily limit.
Sector Highlights: Panel manufacturers like AUO and Innolux gained over 2% on expectations for a strong Q4 consumer electronics season. Meanwhile, the petrochemical sector saw significant gains, led by Formosa Petrochemical hitting the daily limit, driven by rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Market Outlook: Analysts suggest that upcoming U.S. CPI data will be critical for Federal Reserve policy, keeping market sentiment guarded. Investors are advised to lock in profits on stocks that have rallied significantly and wait for pullbacks before re-entering the market.
