He pointed out that the next positive news will be from the Taipei International Computer Show in early June, but after intensive earnings announcements, the computer show can only be considered a topic, as the AI theme has already been reflected in earnings, and subsequent positive news may slow down. He believes that the Taiwan stock market is bullish in the long term, but the short-term rise has been fast and sharp, so it may maintain a volatile pattern. (Editor: Chang Liang-chih) 1150506
