Central News Agency
(CNA Reporter Chung Jung-feng, Taipei, 15th) Market expectations that the US and Iran may arrange a new round of talks spurred a rally across the four major US stock indices, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index hitting record highs for 5 consecutive days. Taiwan stocks opened higher today, reaching a record intraday high of 36727.49 points in early trading, up 431.37 points.
TSMC reached a high of 2075 TWD in early trading, setting a new all-time high, rising by 20 TWD, or 0.97%, and pushing its market capitalization to a record 53.8 trillion TWD.
The most expensive stock, ASPEED, hit a high of 13800 TWD in early trading, another new all-time high, continuing to set price records for the Taiwan stock market. Major electronic weight stocks like Delta Electronics, Hon Hai, MediaTek, and ASE Technology Holding rallied, while memory sector stocks like Nanya Technology, Winbond, and Macronix advanced.
Securities analysts point out that growing expectations for the US and Iran to restart talks this week led to a pullback in international oil prices. Combined with the US announcing that its March Producer Price Index (PPI) rose less than expected, this spurred rallies in the four major US indices. Technical indicators for Taiwan stocks continue to extend upward, with strong sector rotation into mid-to-small cap stocks. (Editor: Chang Chun-mao) 1150415
