(Central News Agency reporter Tseng Jen-kai, Taipei, 29th) As the US Philadelphia Semiconductor Index retreated and the Taiwan stock market experienced excessive short-term positive deviation, the market continued to correct today. The centralized market closed down 218.23 points at 39303.5 points, with a transaction value of NT$876.644 billion. According to statistics from the Taiwan Stock Exchange, the three major institutional investors collectively net sold NT$47.513 billion.
Observing the capital movements of the three major institutional investors, foreign and Mainland Chinese investors (excluding foreign dealers) net sold NT$48.147 billion today, marking the third consecutive day of net selling; proprietary traders reduced their holdings by NT$1.599 billion today; only investment trusts were net buyers, purchasing NT$2.233 billion.
The top 3 stocks with net selling by foreign investors today were Yuanta Taiwan 50 with 37,250 lots, Innolux with 34,795 lots, and Taiwan Glass with 29,430 lots. Foreign investors net sold 15,782 lots of TSMC today, ranking 7th.
In terms of net buying, the top 3 stocks bought by foreign investors today were Macronix with 50,098 lots, Cathay Financial Holdings with 42,577 lots, and Cathay US Equity Total Market Index ETF with 33,071 lots.
Ko Hung-min, fund manager at Schroders Investment Trust, analyzed that the fluctuations in the Taiwan stock market this year have mainly stemmed from capital adjustments, not a weakening of fundamentals. AI infrastructure and capacity planning have certain continuity, and the demand for high-performance computing and advanced processes has not loosened, which benefits Taiwan's semiconductor and related technology supply chains.
Regarding market rumors that some securities firms have exhausted their quotas for "unspecified purpose loan financing" and temporarily suspended applications, possibly signaling a reversal in the Taiwan stock market, senior analyst Tsai Ming-han believes that Taiwan's stock market is now the world's 6th largest, and its transaction volume and market capitalization are incomparable to the past. Investors should not be overly concerned. (Editor: Chang Liang-chih) 1150429
