(Central News Agency reporter Chiang Ming-yen, Taipei 30th) The Taiwan stock market opened higher today but then fluctuated and turned lower. TSMC's stock weakened in late trading, retesting its 10-day moving average support at 2121 NTD. The index closed at its lowest point of 38926.63 points, down 376.87 points, falling below 39000 points. However, the Taiwan stock market surged by 7203.64 points in April, setting a record for the strongest monthly gain in history.
Major US stock indices fluctuated today, closing mixed. The Taiwan stock market opened at 39571.46 points today, reaching an intraday high of 39848.22 points, up 544 points; however, the gains narrowed, and the index plunged in late trading due to TSMC's sharp decline, with a high-low fluctuation of 921 points.
The Taiwan Weighted Index closed down 376.87 points today at 38926.63 points, a decrease of 0.96%, with a turnover of 1.022037 trillion NTD. Listed electronics stocks fell by 1.02%, financial stocks fell by about 1.31%; the OTC index rose by 0.48%.
The Taiwan stock market closed its monthly line today, with a significant increase of 7203.64 points in April, setting a record for the strongest monthly gain in history.
Observing the trend of blue-chip stocks, TSMC plunged in late trading, closing down 45 NTD at 2135 NTD, a decrease of 2.06%. MediaTek closed up 1.36%, UMC rose 3.76%, and Delta Electronics closed flat at 2165 NTD.
ABF substrate stocks surged, with Unimicron, Nanya PCB, and ZD-KY closing at their daily limit, and Kinsus Interconnect Technology rising 3.94%. Nanya PCB reached the 1000 NTD mark for the first time. Robot and smart machinery concept stocks were strong, with Hiwin Technologies, Chih Sheng, Yang Cheng, and Hiwin Mikrosystem hitting their daily limits, and Solomon Technology and Canon rising over 3%.
Optical communication stocks were strong, with Wha Yu Industrial, Epistar, and Advanced Optoelectronic Technology hitting their daily limits. HwaCom Systems, Lumentum, and Opto Tech closed up approximately 8.75%, 7.98%, and 5.24% respectively. Memory stocks were under pressure, with Macronix, Nanya Technology, Winbond, Powerchip Semiconductor, Phison Electronics, Apacer, Adata, and Team Group all closing lower.
Observing the trend of high-priced stocks, ASPEED Technology slightly fell by 0.48%, while GUC rose by 1.96%, maintaining the "double ten-thousand gold" situation. Most high-priced stocks fluctuated, with YMTC, Greatek, and Wanrun hitting their daily limits. Taimide Technology and Nanya PCB both broke through the 1000 NTD mark, bringing the total number of "thousand-dollar stocks" in Taiwan to 48.
Huang Kuo-wei, Deputy General Manager of Mega International Investment Services, stated in an interview that the Taiwan stock market is currently in a high-level volatile pattern. Recent attempts to challenge the 40,000-point mark twice have met resistance, indicating that the market is becoming more conservative before this threshold.
He said that the previous rally in Taiwan stocks mainly reflected positive policy news, including the Financial Supervisory Commission's relaxation of the shareholding limit for Taiwan stock funds and actively managed ETFs in TSMC to 25%, which led to a significant rise in TSMC's stock price. However, since the actual capital scale is still limited compared to TSMC's massive market capitalization, this positive news is a short-term effect, and related themes have gradually been digested.
Huang Kuo-wei pointed out that earnings reports from major Taiwanese and US companies are being released successively, and the focus will now be on AMD's performance in early May and NVIDIA's in late May. Before that, the Taiwan stock market had already reached a phased high this week, and some investors chose to take profits at high points.
Looking ahead, Huang Kuo-wei believes that market risk awareness is rising. With the Middle East situation remaining unclear, oil prices staying high, and stagflation concerns not yet dissipated, these factors could affect long-term fundamentals. (Editor: Chang Liang-chih) 1150430
