The Taiwan Weighted Index, or TAIEX, closed at 44,257.15 on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, gaining 1,545.23 points, or 3.62 percent. The close was the index's highest level of the session and marked its sixth-largest single-day point gain, according to Taiwan News.
Technology stocks lead advance
The gain extended the index's rebound to a third consecutive session after the sharp sell-off of the previous week. Taiwan News reported that the most heavily weighted shares finished higher. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. rose 4.81 percent to TWD 2,395, MediaTek gained 4.18 percent to TWD 3,990, and ASE Technology advanced 1.98 percent to TWD 617. Foxconn added 0.21 percent, while Delta Electronics rose 1.57 percent.
Buying also spread beyond the largest chip stocks. Fiberglass-cloth companies rallied after reporting strong October sales, according to the report, while robotics and information-services shares also attracted demand. These moves indicate that the rebound was broad enough to include several technology-related groups, although the index remains strongly influenced by its largest constituents.
Turnover falls as rebound continues
Trading value declined to TWD 849.2 billion from TWD 1.03 trillion in the previous session. Focus Taiwan reported turnover of TWD 849.17 billion. The lower turnover alongside a powerful index gain suggests that the recovery continued without matching the intensity of the prior session's trading.
The previous completed session, on Tuesday, November 10, ended at 42,711.92 after a 2.52 percent advance. Focus Taiwan attributed that earlier move to an overnight U.S. market rally and easing crude-oil prices, while also noting that foreign institutional investors were net sellers of TWD 34.12 billion on the main board that day. The latest close therefore represents a gain of 1,545.23 points from the immediately preceding session's close.
Resistance remains in focus
According to Taiwan News, the TAIEX is approaching an initial resistance zone between 45,000 and 46,000 points. The publication cited securities analyst Jung Yi-shen, who said investors may seek to sell positions bought at higher levels in that area. This is a market assessment rather than a confirmed direction for the next session, and the index's recovery remains exposed to changes in global technology sentiment and foreign-investor flows.
