Electronic Technology · Semiconductors · economic_daily · 2026-10-20
Taiwan's eight major state-owned banks have launched a ten-day buying spree, investing over NT$192 billion to support the market against heavy foreign outflows.
What Happened
State-Backed Market Support: Facing ten consecutive days of heavy selling by foreign investors, Taiwan's eight major state-owned banks have stepped in to stabilize the market. The state-backed funds have deployed approximately NT$192.25 billion to defend the index and maintain support at the quarterly moving average.
Focus on Key Blue-Chips: The buying strategy has targeted 16 specific stocks, each receiving over NT$2 billion in support. Major technology firms, including TSMC and MediaTek, are among the primary beneficiaries of this massive capital injection.
Shifting Market Dynamics: The market is witnessing a significant shift in ownership as domestic institutional capital absorbs the selling pressure from foreign investors. This transition is viewed as a critical effort to restore investor confidence and provide a floor for the broader market.
Outlook for Recovery: Analysts are closely monitoring these 16 heavily supported stocks, as they are expected to lead any potential market rebound. These companies serve as key indicators for the effectiveness of the government's intervention in stabilizing the local equity market.
