(Central News Agency reporter Ho Hsiu-ling, Taipei, 4th) The Taiwan stock market rose by 1778.51 points today, closing at 40705.14 points, with a transaction value of NT$1,006.87 billion. The three major institutional investors all made net purchases, totaling NT$77.944 billion. Among them, foreign investors replenished their net buy by NT$66.976 billion after four consecutive days of selling, marking the sixth largest net buy amount in history. The top bought stock was Yuanta/P-shares Taiwan High Dividend ETF (0056), with Hon Hai (Foxconn) ranking 10th.
TSMC's stock price rose by NT$140 today, closing at NT$2275, driving the Taiwan stock market's total market value to climb. According to Taiwan Stock Exchange data, the total market value of Taiwan stocks today rose to NT$132.73 trillion, an increase of approximately NT$5.78 trillion from the previous trading day.
The three major institutional investors saw proprietary traders make net purchases of NT$8.94 billion, investment trusts made net purchases of NT$2.028 billion, and foreign and mainland Chinese investors made net purchases of NT$66.976 billion.
The top 5 foreign bought stocks were: 1st place Yuanta/P-shares Taiwan High Dividend ETF (0056) with 58,594 lots, followed by Innolux with 40,503 lots, and then Winbond, UMC, and Fuhua Taiwan Technology High Dividend ETF (00929) in order.
The top 5 foreign sold stocks were: 1st place Uni-President Taiwan Stock Growth (00981A) with 34,831 lots, followed by Macronix with 27,857 lots, and then E.SUN FHC, Taiwan Glass, and Chang Hwa Bank in order.
Senior analyst Chien Po-yi stated that TSMC's surge and foreign investors' significant net buying led to new highs in both the index and points today, indicating strong market momentum, and the Taiwan stock market also broke through the 40,000-point integer mark. From the market perspective, capital today was clearly concentrated in large-cap stocks, with AI and electronics sectors performing relatively strongly.
However, observing that the number of rising stocks was more than falling stocks, but the gap was limited, it shows that the market was not a comprehensive broad-based rally, but rather a concentration of capital in specific groups, with some individual stocks performing relatively weakly. Subsequent attention should be paid to capital rotation.
In addition, Chien Po-yi pointed out that the OTC index has clearly rebounded, and the overall market trend remains bullish. Subsequent observations can be made on April's revenue and Q1 financial report performance as a basis for fundamental support. (Editor: Lin Chia-hsien) 1150504
