Today's Taiwan Stock Market Performance

Today (16th), the Taiwan stock market surged by 337.41 points, closing at 45,848.90 points, a gain of 0.74%, successfully ending a four-day losing streak. However, influenced by the settlement of Taiwan Futures and the cautious sentiment ahead of the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate decision, market willingness to chase prices remained conservative. Today's total market turnover was NT$643.765 billion. 💡 Key Sectors and Individual Stock Performance Blue-chip stocks rebound: TSMC (2330), on its first day of ex-dividend trading, successfully completed its dividend recovery during the session. Unfortunately, buying momentum waned in the afternoon, and it closed flat at NT$2,380. Electronic blue-chip stocks generally ignited and moved higher, with MediaTek (2454) up 2.26% and Delta Electronics (2308) rising over 2%, serving as core drivers for the market's rebound. Benefiting from tight supply and demand and the upward trend in international semiconductor stocks, memory-related stocks performed brightly. 📈 Strong Sectors: Glass and ceramics led the gains with the strongest performance, up 4.12%. Optics stocks rose 3.66%, driven by optical lens manufacturers (such as Genius Electronic Optical and Lite-On Technology hitting the upper limit). Shipping stocks also showed steady performance, up 1.87%. 💸 Macro Environment Market experts believe that after a short-term correction, the Taiwan stock market is showing signs of stabilization. The mid-to-long-term fundamentals of AI and semiconductors still have strong support. However, as this week marks the announcement of interest rate decisions by the US and Japanese central banks, market volume has not fully expanded yet. In the short term, the market is expected to continue with a pattern of 'index fluctuations and rotating individual stock performance'.
