The Taiwan Stock Exchange is poised to break its recent losing streak as it hovers just below the 18,800-point mark. Global market optimism surrounding potential de-escalation of U.S.-China trade tensions is expected to provide support to the Asian markets, following solid gains in European and U.S. markets.
On Tuesday, the Taiwan Stock Exchange experienced a sharp decline driven by losses in financial and technology sectors, albeit with some support from plastics companies. The index closed at 18,793.43 after a 1.64 percent drop. Key players like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Hon Hai Precision saw notable declines, while United Microelectronics Corporation bucked the trend with gains.
Wall Street saw a significant rebound, with the Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 all posting strong gains. The positive sentiment was fueled by bargain hunting after Monday’s sell-off, as well as indications of potential trade dispute de-escalation between the U.S. and China. Positive earnings reports from companies like 3M and GE Aerospace further bolstered market confidence.
Crude oil prices surged following the announcement of new sanctions against Iran, contributing to market dynamics. In Taiwan, upcoming industrial production data for March is anticipated, building on a 17.91 percent year-on-year increase recorded in February.
The Taiwan Stock Exchange’s performance is closely monitored by investors and analysts for insights into broader market trends and economic conditions. The exchange’s resilience in the face of recent challenges reflects the dynamic nature of global markets and the interconnectedness of financial systems.
