"Stock King" ASPEED Technology set a new all-time high of NT$17,905, closing at NT$17,790. Coupled with strong performances in the glass, plastics, and financial sectors, these pushed the Taiwan stock market to further new highs.
Foreign and mainland Chinese investors bought a net NT$3.939 billion today, proprietary traders sold a net NT$10.087 billion, and investment trusts bought a net NT$3.411 billion; the three major institutional investors combined sold a net NT$2.737 billion.
According to data from the Taiwan Stock Exchange, foreign investors bought the most shares of Innolux today, reaching 116,407 shares. The remaining top 10 most bought stocks included Hon Hai, Nanya Corporation, Taishin Shin Kong Financial, Yuanta/P-shares Taiwan High Dividend (0056), Cathay Financial Holding, CTBC Financial Holding, Fuh Hwa Taiwan Selection High Dividend (00919), Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp., and Nanya Technology.

Senior analyst Liu Kun-hsi said that Taiwan's economic growth rate in the first quarter of this year was 13.69%, a strong performance. With the development trend of artificial intelligence (AI) remaining unchanged, Taiwan's fundamentals are expected to remain strong, and the Taiwan stock market can continue its volatile but upward trend, with no need to set a ceiling for the index. However, the subsequent developments in the Middle East situation still need to be watched. (Edited by Yang Lan-hsuan) 1150505
