(Central News Agency reporter Pan Chih-min, Taipei, 6th) With the US stock market's S&P and Nasdaq indices hitting new highs, attention is focused on whether Taiwan stocks will reach new highs today after breaking through 40,000 points. Jurists believe that Taiwan's stock market fundamentals are supported by the AI industry, with a bullish long-term outlook and a chance for new short-term highs, but also a risk of pullback after significant gains. Investors with high holdings of leading AI stocks might as well hold steady, while those with low holdings could consider gradually increasing positions in good-performing AI stocks.
As international oil prices fell and the market was boosted by strong corporate earnings reports, the four major US stock indices closed higher again today, driving the S&P and Nasdaq to new all-time highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 356.35 points or 0.73% to close at 49298.25 points; the S&P 500 index rose 58.47 points or 0.81% to close at 7259.22 points; the Nasdaq index surged 258.33 points or 1.03% to close at 25326.13 points; the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index soared 445.92 points or 4.23% to close at 10980.58 points. Despite the gains in the four major US indices, TSMC ADR fell 1.79%.
Taiwan stocks continued to set new records on the 5th, with the weighted index climbing to 40885.05 points during trading, closing at 40769.29 points, setting new intraday and closing highs, rising 64.15 points, with a turnover of NT$997.643 billion.
Tsai Ming-han, an analyst at Cathay Securities Investment Consulting, said in a telephone interview that Taiwan stocks are incredibly strong and face pressure for a pullback after significant gains, but the long-term bullish trend remains unchanged. Therefore, investors with significantly lower stock holdings can adopt a regular fixed-amount concept, gradually increasing positions in leading AI stocks daily to buy at an average price for long-term investment. Those with high stock holdings should wait for a truly significant dip before increasing positions.
Tsai Ming-han pointed out that Taiwan's strong fundamentals are mainly supported by the AI industry, but among the more than 1900 listed companies, over 1000 stocks are still below their annual moving average. Therefore, buying AI stocks is essential to grasp the trend. After all, Taiwan's exports in March hit a new high, mainly driven by AI-related information components, so long-term investment should still focus on AI. (Editor: Yang Kai-hsiang) 1150506
