Huang Szu-han, General Manager of Taishin Securities Investment Advisory, stated in a phone interview with reporters that the Taiwan stock market continued its rally with increasing volume today. If short-term liquidity remains stable at a high level, it will help the Taiwan stock market to continue its upward momentum. Attention should be paid to whether there are significant changes in liquidity. Currently, most capital is flowing into weighted stocks, and domestic capital continues to observe the movements of active ETFs.
Looking ahead, Huang Szu-han pointed out that this week's focus will be on the financial reports and outlooks of major US technology and electronics stocks, the earnings results and industry views from investor conferences of Taiwan-listed companies, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, which will influence the direction of the US dollar interest rates.
