Main Body

The Taiwan stock market observed significant turmoil due to various global factors, closing 139.36 points lower at 22,576.07, with shrinking volumes of 3,501.80 billion. Major investors showed mixed behavior, with foreign institutions selling a net of 295.02 billion TWD, while investment trusts purchased 27.02 billion TWD. This led to a combined net sell-off of 380.06 billion TWD.

In parallel, the U.S. stock market also witnessed substantial losses. For example, prominent indices such as the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and Philadelphia Semiconductor Index all suffered downturns. Notably, heavyweight companies like NVIDIA and TSMC saw their stock prices plunge.

Despite general market pressure, some local firms, like AI and robotics-related stocks, are noteworthy. With the GTC event spotlighting AI advancements, these sectors could see investor interest intensify due to their lower valuations and potential growth.

On the corporate front, TSMC made headlines by announcing a massive U.S. investment plan of over 100 billion USD, aimed at addressing customer requirements without altering its Taiwan strategy. Concerns over tariffs have temporarily eased, yet challenges around high production costs and supply chain adaptability persist, making TSMC strategically significant in this landscape.

Other companies such as Hon Hai have achieved breakthroughs in quantum computing and deep learning, aiming to reduce large model parameters while enhancing performance, highlighting Taiwan's innovation strengths.

Median Tech, currently under pressure, remains determined to expand its market reach with ambitions for notable 40% revenue growth over the next few years through forays into AI and tech advancements.

Amidst the backdrop of market pressures, China's high hopes for their cloud services and AI initiatives have infused optimism and strategic movements in regional markets.
